Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Family of Thieves. Enjoy the 1050-word chapter. I don't own Sly Cooper, Sony and Sucker Punch do.
(Mesa City, Utah.)
Muggshot looked down from his chair at the two raccoons, one dressed in red and the other blue as they walked until they were in front of him.
"You have to be kidding me, you two runts are the ones mucking up my business? My boys made it sound like it was a bunch of massive bruisers, not two scrawny rats with sticks…. Wait, I remember that stick."
The bulldog laughed as Ray spun his cane to point the crooked end at him.
"Trust me, we're a lot more dangerous then we look, Muggshot, you give us the Thievius Raccoonus and we're let you walk out of here with your dignity. Besides, maybe our father knocked the idea of these sticks into your head when he knocked your block off."
Ray said as Sly did the same and grinned slightly.
"For once, I have to agree with my brother, give us the Thievius Raccoonus and this won't hurt…. Much."
Sly said as Muggshot looked at the two Raccoons and laughed before speaking.
"Wait, your father? Your both Coopers?! Wow! You know that Thingius Raacomugus had a lot of nice pictures but WAY too many big words."
Muggshot said before Sly and Ray shared a look.
"So, you won't mind just giving it to us?"
Ray asked as Muggshot laughed.
"You kidding, you break into my place, steal my stuff, trash the joint, I feel transgressed and violated…. Let's rock."
Muggshot said before jumping off his chair and opening fire with his tommy guns, forcing both Raccoons to dive for cover.
"So, I'm guessing beating some sense into the meathead isn't going to work?"
Ray asked as he and Sly leapt off of the crystals, using the momentum to outmaneuver Muggshot as Sly and Ray's earpieces rang.
"Guys, those mirrors can be reflected to reflect the sunlight into those crystals to fry Muggshot and his guns!"
Bentley said as Ray twisted through a barrage of bullets before whacking a mirror with his cane as Sly did the same with the other.
"Little runts, stay still!"
Muggshot hissed, shifting his attention towards Sly as Ray wacked one of the last two mirrors as he turned to see Sly out running Muggshot as he wacked the final mirror and was rewarded with a yelp of pain from Muggshot as he dropped his weapons.
"My beautiful guns are ruined! Good thing I have a spare upstairs."
Muggshot said as he retreated to a lift as Sly did the same.
"Where do you think you're going, bonehead?"
Ray said, firing off the grappling part of his cane and using it to pull himself to the upper level of the arena as Muggshot turned and fired both of his tommy guns at both Raccoons, no longer content with just attacking one at a time.
"Go for the mirrors on your side, I'll handle these two!"
Ray said, ducking under a stream of bullets as Muggshot tracked him as he fired at Sly with his other weapon.
"Neither of you runts are frying me again!"
Muggshot hissed, firing at Ray as he dove out of the way after turning a mirror before he fired a stream of bullets at Sly, stopping him as Sly turned a mirror before ducking behind a crystal as Ray hopped onto his head.
"Get off me, you little runt!"
Muggshot hissed as he tried to grab the small raccoon as Sly flipped a mirror and ran for the last one as Muggshot fired at him with his free hand before Sly flipped the mirror, frying the Bulldog as Muggshot cursed and retreated.
"Time for the curtain call, Muggshot!"
Ray hissed before firing his grappling hook and catching it on the chandelier as Sly took a lift up before both leapt onto the chandelier, both could see Muggshot's eyes full of anger and hatred.
"I'm taking you both out like I did when we took out your father!"
Muggshot shouted, firing away at both Raccoons as Ray hopped over and flipped a mirror over as Muggshot turned it with his guns, unaware of Sly flipping another mirror as Ray and Sly hopped from point to point on the chandelier as only two mirrors remained after a minute or so.
"Blasted runts, I won't go down to you two!"
Muggshot said as he fired right as Ray landed on part of the chandelier, causing him to slip as Ray looked on in horror.
"RAY!"
Sly yelled out as Ray twisted out of a stream of bullets before firing his cane at a mirror, flipping it.
"Take the meathead down, I'm fine!"
"Ray hissed as Sly nodded before flipping over to the point as Muggshot aimed his tommy guns at Ray and began to pull the triggers.
Right before Sly flipped the final mirror.
"My eyes!"
Muggshot said before stumbling back, rather than his weapons frying, Muggshot dropped them as they bounced off the levels below the chandelier, clattering to the ground below as Ray and Sly swung themselves onto the chandelier.
"This isn't right, beaten by a pair of runts like you, well, Mz. Ruby is going to serve you both up as appetizers when she gets her claws on you, just you wait for when you get to Haiti."
Muggshot groaned out as Ray looked down to hear police sirens as he turned to Sly.
"Brother, I hate to fight and run, but Interpol is here, I'll meet you in Haiti."
Ray said before pressing his hand to his ear.
"Ben, get the truck started, and get ready to go, Interpol is here and we have to get going before we're both locked up!"
Ray said before strapping his cane through the straps of his backpack before leaping off and activating his paraglider as Sly looked down and saw that his younger brother was right as he did the same and flew down towards where the Van, Murray and Bentley were parked.
Author notes
Ok, Muggshot was a bit easy because of his…. Boneheaded approach, Mz. Ruby and Clockwerk will be tougher to deal with. Next chapter will be on next Wednesday, until then, Lighting Wolf out!
