Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Family of Thieves. Enjoy the 1150-word chapter. I don't own Sly Cooper, Sony and Sucker Punch do.
(Isle of Wrath, Wales.)
"A Cooper!? I should have known you would arrive, the Thievius Raccoonus is special to your kind after all…"
Raleigh growled as Ray pointed his cane at the frog with anger.
"Well, you did break into our home, murder our parents and still the book that belongs to our family, you should have expected this, Raleigh."
Ray growled as the machinist nodded.
"I should have, let me make amends by this: CRUSHING YOU UNDERFOOT LIKE THE INSECT YOU ARE!"
Raleigh said as Ray twirled his cane.
"Bring it."
Ray said as the Frog leapt at the Raccoon, killer intent in his eyes.
(With Sly.)
Sly flipped over a beam and landed outside the window to Raleigh's room, he glared inside to see Ray bat the overgrown Frog away as Raleigh shot his tongue at him, he shattered the window with his cane and leapt onto a platform.
"What kept you, big brother?"
Ray said as Raleigh shook the platform under Ray before knocking the Cooper onto Sly's platform.
"I can't believe you, Ray!"
Sly hissed as Raleigh hopped around the platforms before tiring after landing on Sly and Ray's platform as the Cooper brothers batted the frog away with their canes.
"Can't believe me? I'm trying to avenge our family, same as you!"
Ray said as he and Sly leapt to another platform as Raleigh shot his tongue at them, growling in anger as he missed.
"Stand still, you blasted morons!"
Raleigh growled as he bloated with another bee as he leapt after them as Sly and Ray leapt from platform to platform to dodge the crazed Frog as Ray vaulted over the platform in the middle and batting Raleigh into the water before he hopped out.
"We're talk about this when this fight is done, Ray."
Sly said as Raleigh glared at the two siblings.
"It's touching honestly, Cooper, you two must care so much for each other…. It will make it all the more satisfying when I crush you both like the insects you are!"
Raleigh laughed as Ray yawned and leaned on his cane as Sly began to hop around towards Raleigh as his eyes narrowed in anger.
"You dare to mock me!? Me, you child!?"
Raleigh hissed as Ray nodded.
"Man, you must have bored your victims to death, it certainly can't be your fighting skills if trying to hit me with your tongue and trying to bounce on me…. All those brains and yet your limiting your own genius."
Ray taunted as Raleigh growled and looked at the Racoon with murder in his eyes.
"SHUT UP!"
Raleigh said as he shot his tongue at Ray only for Ray to catch it with his cane as Raleigh looked behind him to see Sly waving at him as he sighed.
"I eate Uoopers."
Raleigh muttered, his speech slurred before Sly batted him into the water with his cane as the Frog bobbed in the water.
"What did you want to say, Sly?"
Ray asked as Sly sighed.
"Nothing, just… Don't rush into things, Ray, promise me that?"
Sly said as Ray nodded, he knew his brother wanted to snap at him but both were cut off by Raleigh who gaged before laughing.
"What's so funny, Raleigh?"
Ray asked as the evil Frog laughed and laughed before speaking up.
"While you brotherly affection makes me want to gag, it also reminds me of my villainous friend and Fiendish Five ally, Mugshot in Utah, he and Mesa City are so well guarded you could be a snake and you still couldn't slither in without setting off alarms, your both be dead before you even reach him!"
Raleigh said with a laugh as Police Sirens could be heard as Ray looked out the window and saw several police boats speeding to the island as he flipped down.
"Sly, the police are here, I'm guessing they followed you?"
Ray asked as Sly shrugged and grinned.
"At least Inspector Fox can't resist my charm, little brother."
Sly said as Ray shook his head and put his hand to his ear piece.
"Ben, it's Ray, Raleigh's down but the cops are coming, get the truck in the water, I'll meet you down there in a few minutes."
Ray said as he nodded when he heard back and aimed his cane at the shattered window.
"Ray, this talk isn't over, and you're not attacking Mugshot head on by yourself."
Sly said as Ray looked at his brother with a grin.
"Of course, I won't, you're going after him as well, I'll meet you there... Just try not to get caught up in cops and robbers with that inspector, big brother… See you around!"
Ray said as Sly lunged at his younger brother as he grappled out of the window and opened a paraglider as Sly leapt up to the ledge to see him flying towards the Greenish van that splashed into the water, he thanked his good luck that Carmelita didn't look up, his Binocucom rang as he looked into it to see Ray grinning at him.
"I also wanted to say Bentley whipped up this Binocucom for me in case we needed to talk, Brother… Like I said, good luck… We're both going to need it."
Ray said as Sly watched his sibling land on the truck and slip inside it as it sped away as he shook his head.
"I just hope he knows Carmelita doesn't mess around…"
Sly said as he leapt off his ledge and opened his own paraglider as he began to fly down back towards Bentley, Murray and the van as he looked down to see Carmelita and her men were busy arresting Raleigh's men, he sighed under his breath.
"Never an easy job, is it?"
Sly asked himself as he landed on a tree and hid as he waited for his chance to slip away, he looked out at the ocean and could barely see the truck as it raced away.
"First thing I'm asking them when I get off this island is how they got here without someone like Bentley."
Author notes
Ok, next up will be Mugshot, Ray will be doing a little thief work while his brother and Bentley and Murray get ready for their battle with Mugshot. Next chapter will be on Friday or Saturday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
P.S: The reason the Raleigh fight was this easy was because of Ray annoying him and his arrogance, Mugshot and the other members of the Fiendish Five will be tougher.
