(Episode 1 Prologue)
The Cooper Gang van was seen leaving Paris towards the location of the Cooper Gang's first job on recovering the first set of pages of the Thievius Raccoonus.
(Sly's POV)
The road trip gave me enough time to read up on the first member of the Fiendish Five, Sir Raleigh the frog.
A flashback shows a bored noble looking frog sighing as a fine dinner was offered to him in his mansion.
As a young man, this hot-tempered frog grew up in a life of luxary and grew bored of it.
The flashback then shows Raleigh, now wearing a metal top hat, grinning and holding a glass of wine and on a ship full of treasures while the other ships sunk to the watery depths.
On a whim, he tried his hand at piracy, and found it to his liking. Raleigh, who quickly become addicted to crime, was recruited by the leader of the Fiendish Five as chief machinist, where his evil genius tinkering rose to new heights.
The flashback then shows Raleigh working on a machine.
The last reported sighting of this mad machinist was off the coast of the Isle of Wale, a small island uncomfortly situated in the middle of the perilous Welsh Triangle.
Sly Cooper and his Girls in: Tide of Terror
Chapter 3: Tide of Terror: Part 1: The Thief and the Half Demon
The Cooper Gang Van parked near the coast and Sly and the IS girls jumped out of it. Bentley created five Binocucoms for Houki and her friends.
Sly saw the cave entrance with the warning sign 'Keep out!' near it. Sly turned to the girls with a smile and asked "Are you lovely ladies ready for your first outing in this place?"
That comment left the IS girls blushing, well, except for Cecilia who still doesn't like Sly.
"Uh…" Ling looked away bashfully. "W-We're ready. We know how to preform thieving moves thanks to your mentoring."
"Okay. This is our first job in recovering the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus." Sly nodded as he and his girls entered the cave and found themselves on the outskirts of a gate blocking their only path. Sly and the girls got out their Binocucoms and opened a channel with Bentley.
"Hey Sly, girls! I spotted something that's going to be complicated with the mission." Bentley began his analysis as Sly uses his Binocucom to see the gate. "See that nasty looking gate? It blocks the only road leading into Raleigh's Hideout."
"No problem. I'll just use my climb move." Sly reassured his best friend and partner.
"And we can only climb on certain objects like ladders, and other things that we can climb into, right?" Houki smiled with confidence.
"How did you-" Bentley was surprised that Houki was gonna say the same thing he was gonna say.
"Hehe." Charlotte giggled. "A lucky guess."
"Oh, hold on." Laura used her genetic abilities to jump into a tree and grab a green bottle with a note in it. She got out her white Binocucom and showed the note to Bentley.
"Bentley, this is a clue to some clue. We need to gather enough clues to crack the code. Think you can decipher it in the van?" Laura said in her militant tone.
"Right! No code can stand before me." Bentley nodded.
"And according to my calculations, there are 20 of these notes on this area. We'll find them and you use the intel to help us with a very important side mission." Laura closed her channel before Bentley can ask why.
"Oiii! Laura-chan!" Laura hears Charlotte's cheerful tone as she sees her friends and Sly on the other side of the gate. And by the looks on their faces, they gathered the clue bottles of this section in the first area of their mission.
"Hey Laura. Watch out for those lights from that lighthouse. Bentley says if we get touched by the lights, it'll set off the alarm." Sly advised her. Laura nodded as she leaped down and joined her friends as they gathered more clue bottles.
When they were about to head to the next section, a tough looking walrus who can fling stars noticed them and flung a star shuriken at them. But Houki used her katana to slice the star in two, surprising the walrus. In a quick moment, Houki used a knock out slash to knock out the walrus thug.
As they walked up a hill, Sly saw a huge blimp like machine in the horizon and it seems to be making something out of its top base. Sly and the girls got out their Binocucoms and opened a channel with Bentley.
"According to my Amphino-Positioning System, that huge blimp is where Raleigh is hiding out." Bentley calculated.
"It looks like a storm machine than a blimp." Ling commented.
"Correct, Miss Ling. That is a storm machine! It's the reason why it never stops raining around here!" Bentley explained.
"That's explains the wrecked ships." Sly moved his Binocucom to the sunken ships.
"But why would Raleigh want bad weather at his hideout, 24-7?" Bentley wondered.
"Beats me, but rain or shine, I'm gonna steal my family's book back. And if Raleigh gets in my way… It's on…" Sly said dangerously as he clenched his fist tightly as he cut the channel with Bentley, so did the IS girls.
"Seeing Sly like that scares me…" Charlotte whispered softly, a bit frighten of Sly's determination to avenge his family.
"We have to help Sly get back what rightfully belongs to him. So we have to deal with it." Ling calmed the German IS pilot down as the gang pressed on.
They see more clue bottles on top of rocks in a raging waterfall that can end their journey if they're not careful.
"Time to put our training to the test." Ling smiled softly as she did something that amazed her buddies, except for Sly who smiled with confidence. Ling did a double jump and got on the rocks with the clue bottles.
"Impressive…" Laura gave a sly smile.
"B-But how! I thought it only works on video games!" Cecilia was dumbfounded on such an impossibility. Houki in her thoughts, have one of her theories.
'Maybe being sent to Sly's world have given us the abilities to do stuff seen only in video games… Perhaps we can also learn the skills of Sly's ancestors as well? It's pretty cool if stuff like that can happen in real life.' Houki did a double jump as well, so did Charlotte and Laura.
Cecilia was hesitated on double jumping, but Sly placed his hand on her shoulder with a charming and reassuring smile. "If you want, I can carry you on my back."
Cecilia is beet red. "F-Fine! But do it like a gentleman or I won't forgive you!" Sly chuckled, so did the rest of Cecilia's friends as Cecilia climbed onto Sly's back and the thief of the Cooper Clan managed to get the both of them to safety.
Sly and his girls saw a gate with a hook above it. Sly got out his Binocucom and opened a channel with Bentley.
"Nice job so far, Sly." Bentley commented on Sly's skills. "To get over the next gate, you and the girls will have to grab onto this hook with your cane. Think you know how to do it?"
"Yep. Before the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus were stolen when I was a kid, my dad taught me how to use the family cane to grab on to things." Sly told him as he cut the channel. He turned to the IS girls. "Alright girls, when I used my cane to grab ahold of the hook above us, grab on to me and I can swing all of you across, but I can only swing one person at a time."
"Eh?!" The IS girls' faces turned bright red.
"B-But mister Sly…" Charlotte pressed her fingers nervously. "What if we grab your… you know?"
"Y-Yeah. It would make us perverts and rob you of your privacy." Ling looked away, rather flustered.
"Don't worry. Cute girls like you won't do anything pervertedly to me. Now I'm gonna grab on to the hook and one of you grab onto me and I can swing you over the gate." Sly jumped up and latched his cane at the hook.
Houki was first, but she was at a loss on what to do. She looked down, blushing. "This is so embarrassing… But I have to do it! Hyaaaaah!" Houki jumped up and grabbed on to Sly, still blushing.
"Okay! One… two… three… go!" Sly swings back and forth until Houki let go of Sly at the precise moment and was on the other side of the gate.
Cecilia was next and she was beet red as well. "S-Stupid Sly…" She muttered as she grabbed on to Sly and he managed to get her across.
Ling rubbed her fingers nervously. "O-Okay, Sly. Get me across, okay?" Ling smiled slightly as she grabbed onto Sly and the thief managed to get the IS martial artist pilot across the gate.
Charlotte was flustered and blushing like crazy. "F-Forgive me, Ichika-san…" Charlotte muttered as she latched onto Sly and she got across the gate.
Laurua was silent, but blushing slightly as she was the last to grab onto Sly and the thief got the super female soldier across.
The gang then has to deal with watermills and more of Raleigh's thugs until they gathered enough clue bottles to crack the code.
The IS girls lead Sly to a safe near the end of this area. Sly inspected it and commented "This safe looked pretty suspicious. I wonder what it's hiding…"
Laura got off the channel with Bentley and told Sly "Sly, dial in 7-9-2."
"Ok." Sly nodded as he dialed in the number. To his luck, he managed to get it open and the safe showed pages of some sort. But Sly immediately recognized it. "I don't believe it! It's one of the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus!" Sly grabbed the pages and began reading it. "This one is Old Drake Cooper's Fast Attack Dive move. It can be very useful for tough foes." Sly grinned as he took out his family's calling card from his sleeve and placed it on where the contents used to be.
"Isn't it wonderful, Mister Sly?" Charlotte closed her eyes and smiled. "You're one step closer to restoring the Thievius Raccoonus to its former glory."
"Yeah." Sly nodded with a slick smile. "I bet there are safes like that which contain my family's pages. Let's get more clue bottles for all the safes." Sly and the girls then stole the first Treasure Key and used it to open the gate which leads to the central hub of Raleigh's hideout.
(Back in the IS Dimension)
Tabane was fixing the portal that blew up. She looked at her notes. "Hopefully, I can get little sis home. But there may be side effects on pulling people from other dimensions into the dimension little sis was sent to. Please work!" Tabane prayed as she pulled the lever.
(Meanwhile, in the Inuyasha dimension)
nuyasha and his friends were trying their hardest; they tried to break the barrier around Naraku's castle, but no avail.
"Dang it! No matter what we do, we can't break this barrier!" Inuyasha shouted in frustration as he swung his Tetsusaiga to try to break the barrier, but no success.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome looked worried. "Should we just find someone to break the barrier?"
"No, Kagome…" Inuyasha was serious for a moment "We come too far to stop now. We have to end this once and for all."
Suddenly, Miroku notice something. "What's that?" Miroku pointed to a dark light coming down to them.
When it stopped midway, The Inu crew couldn't help but wonder what it is. Suddenly, the light turned into a black hole, and started to suck everything in.
"What the heck is that?!" Inuyasha yelled in surprise as he used the Tetsusaiga to try to anchor himself and Kagome, Miroku and Sango along with Shippo and Kirara held on to the ground trying not to get sucked in.
But it was hopeless; Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara were sucked in, followed by Inuyasha and Kagome. Then it sucked in Naraku's castle. Next, it sucked in Sesshoumaru, Rin and Jaken. Then it sucked in Koga and Kikyo.
To be continued…
Next chapter: Tide of Terror: Part 2: The Thief VS The Half-Demon: Brains vs Brawn!
A/N: Sorry for ending this chapter on a cliffhanger. Anyway, looks like Cecilia, Ling and Laura are tied to be Sly's girlfriend, but only one will be Sly's mate. Also, I have plans of making a Castlevania: Symphony of the Night x Mew Mew Power crossover with Bridget as the main character. Tell me what you think, OK? See you next update.
