Here we go, guys, the hunt for the Contessa and Neyla's rescue has begun. Sly will get his revenge on the Contessa and Neyla will make a life changing decision at the end. Anyway back to the story, guys.

After a week of searching, Sly and Scar found the Contessa's castle estate. A gothic nightmare that would make anyone else run in terror. Fortunately for Sly and Scar, they had faced far worse creatures on different planets over the years. They had also known that the Contessa had the Clockwerk eyes: eyes that could stop people with weaker minds in their tracks. Knowing what a powerful hypnosis like the Contessa could do with such powerful artifacts, Sly and Scar knew that they needed to kill the Contessa before she used them to completely hypnotize Neyla. Unfortunately, news of the Contessa's corruption had spread to Interpol. They had sent Carmelita to arrest her and had given her clearance to hire local mercenaries to help her.

"If that incompetent fool has an army, then we are just going to be walking in the middle of a war." Scar said.

"I know, brother, but we must act now before the insect woman has Neyla in her control. Then we will find a way to get revenge on her and that incompetent fox woman." Sly said.

"I understand, brother." Scar said.

They got their armor, weapons and masks ready and entered their pods. The pod got close to the Contessa's castle in an hour and once they landed. Sly and Scar found a headquarters and set up their equipment. "Brother, I will scout the area and find anything that will be useful to us. You go to the tower where the insect woman most likely is. If I am right, Neyla will be there as well." Scar said.

"Of course, brother. Once we have more information, we will meet back here." Sly said.

Sly went outside the headquarters and quickly found some things around the area. He got a close look at the boats, the Contessa's blimp, one of her assault tanks, and the fox woman's headquarters. Once he got what he needed, he headed for the top of the Contessa's tower and went inside through the window. Once inside, he saw Neyla and the Contessa in a room with a hypnosis device.

"I should have known that you were corrupt, Contessa. And I should have known that bitch Carmelita would try something like this. I may have kept my feelings and many other things about the hunter a secret but aside from that, I'm an honest cop and an honest person!" Neyla said.

"Of course you are. I've read your Psychological profile… I know that you're honest despite your secrets about the hunter. It was your honesty and your relationship with the hunter that got you here, Neyla. By chasing the hunter you learned too much about the Klaww gang and its spice operation. It was only a matter of time before you figured out that I was a secret member of the Klaww gang… so when Carmelita gave me a chance to put you in custody I took it. And with your increased abilities, you will become the Klaww gang's secret weapon once I install the Clockwerk eyes into my device." Contessa said.

"You're a coward! But I have a feeling that your interrogation and hypnosis sessions with the hunter didn't go so well did it?" Neyla asked.

"I underestimated him but he will be dealt with when you are under my control." Contessa said.

"You're a dead woman talking, Contessa. Right now, that bitch Carmelita is the least of your worries. Once the hunter comes for you, you will be begging for jail. I've seen first-hand what he's capable of doing to criminals like you and believe me, he won't have a single shred of mercy." Neyla said with a smirk.

"Talk while you can, Neyla. Once you are under my control, the hunter will be so busy with you, he won't have time to worry about me." Contessa said.

Sly's mask recorded everything in the room. The Contessa's shadow guards, the table that Neyla was strapped to, Clockwerk's eyes, and the old terminal that was right beside him. "Brother, I have what we need. And you were right about the insect woman being in the tower. She is trying to put Neyla under her control. Neyla is fighting it but she will not last long."

"I have found some things that will be useful to us. Come back to the headquarters and we can begin our plans." Scar said.

"I'm on my way, brother. But we must hurry if we are going to save Neyla. She will not be able to fight the insect woman's control for long." Sly said looking at Neyla. Sly got out of the tower, met back up with Scar and headed back to the headquarters to begin their planning.

After showing each other what they found, they began to plan. "The war between the insect woman and the Fox woman has put the castle on alert. We will need to manipulate the conflict to our advantage. I will go find the General of security here and force him to tell me what we need to know. You go to the grave of a "Voodoo priestess and capture a few of the spirits with this device and send them into the Fox woman's headquarters. Seeing death up close will make her get more mercenary firepower to increase our chances of weakening the insect woman." Scar said.

"Excellent plan, brother. We have our pods to take care of the Fox woman's firepower when the insect woman is weakened. We just need to wait for the right moment." Sly said as they walked outside and headed to their objectives.

With Scar

Scar tracked down the General and went to his location while killing any guard that got in his way. He had to stay cloaked to avoid the tanks. Once he found the General, he killed the guard that was with him, grabbed him and headed back to the headquarters. Once there, Scar set his mask to understand the General's language. "Now, General, it is time we discussed the security codes for the castle gates. What are they?"

"I will never talk!" The General said.

"Then perhaps it's time to try a different approach." Scar said taking the General to a tank full of water, making the General whimper in fear.

"W-w-what are you going to do?" The General asked.

"Whatever is necessary to get what I want." Scar said holding the General under the water for 3 minutes.

When Scar pulled him out, the General coughed up water. "I-I will tell you anything that you want to know!"

"Good. Now give me the codes to the gate, and I will make your death painless and mercifully quick." Scar said.

With Sly

Sly made his way to the Voodoo priestess grave and went inside. Once inside, he saw axes and retractable spikes. He quickly destroyed the axes with his plasmacaster and jumped over the spikes. He got to the Voodoo priestess coffin, took care of the guards, and destroyed the coffin with his plasmacaster, making 9 spirits come out. Sly quickly captured them with the device that Scar gave him and headed to Carmelita's headquarters. He got to the roof and released the spirits into the headquarters through the chimney. The spirits started flying around inside the headquarters, making Carmelita run out.

"So, the Contessa wants war, huh? Well, she'll get it once I purchase more air power. A few bombers should be just what I need." Carmelita said.

"That's right, Fox. Call your bombers. You're only playing right into our hands." Sly thought as he went back to the headquarters.

After an hour, Sly and Scar started planning. "It seems that our efforts have gone well. The war between the insect woman and the Fox woman has escalated. There are 3 more phases that we must do if we are going to get into that tower. You will need to go under the fox woman's headquarters and use her voice to order her mercenaries to spin their torrents. I will use my pod to destroy some of the insect woman's tanks. The rest of them will believe that it was the fox women's tanks. I have made a modification to our computer hacking device that will make computers that have no power to activate. We will need it for freeing Neyla." Scar said.

"Excellent, brother. Once our objectives are complete, we head back here and plan our final operation." Sly said as they walked outside and split up to head to their objectives.

With Sly

Sly headed to the area below Carmelita's headquarters and crawled through the tunnel that led inside. Once inside he saw giant octopus tentacles in the water and quickly used his Shurikens to cut them off. Sly rail-slided across the water while killing 2 guards until he got to the satellite cable. Sly attached a communication device and set his mask to mimic Carmelita's voice. "Attention all bloodthirsty mercenary forces, I have new orders for you: spin your torrents for me and don't stop until I tell you." Sly said as he took the communication device and went back to the headquarters.

With Scar

Scar entered his pod and flew into the air. He quickly tracked the Contessa's tanks and destroyed them. Scar landed his pod back where it was and headed back to the headquarters.

After an hour of gathering their equipment, Sly and Scar started planning. "It is time to get revenge on the insect woman. And I know just how to do that: First, I will turn off the searchlights with the codes that the General gave to me. Then you will use the Fox woman's voice to order her forces to attack the castle. We will then destroy the insect woman's aircraft so she will not escape again. Once it is destroyed, we will fly to the tower, free Neyla, get the Clockwerk eyes and kill the insect woman." Scar said.

"Excellent plan, brother. But I will be the one to kill the insect woman. I want to see her suffer before I kill her." Sly said.

"She will, brother." Scar said as he activated his pod and set it to go to the Contessa's blimp and quickly destroyed it. Scar then headed to the gate. Once he got inside, he used the code that the general gave him, turning off the searchlights. Scar's pod came up to him. He got inside and took off into the air.

With Sly

When Sly got into his pod and joined Scar, he quickly used Carmelita's voice again. "Attention all bloodthirsty mercenary forces, the castle's defences are down. Seize opportunity to attack the castle in full force. Show no mercy!" Sly said as he and Scar headed inside the tower.

"What? The mercenaries have breached the castle defences!? Take every man and head out! Fight them to the last man!" The Contessa said as her guards headed out of the room. Contessa went to her device and continued with her work on Neyla. "Do not worry, Neyla. I still have time to turn you into my personal weapon."

"I'm no one's weapon. Those mercenaries are the least of your worries. The hunter will make you suffer!" Neyla said.

"Are you ready to get your revenge, brother?" Scar asked.

"Yes I am, brother." Sly said as Scar got out his computer hacking device. The computer turned on and was quickly hacked, making the restraints on Neyla's table unlock.

"Looks like I was right." Neyla thought as she got off the table, saw her pistol and grabbed it.

I've isolated your brain pattern. Welcome to the Klaww gang, my new secret weapon." Contessa said.

"As I told you before, I'm no one's weapon!" Neyla said. Contessa turned around and quickly ran out of the door. Sly and Scar broke down the cage blocking their way and jumped down.

"Are you alright, Neyla?" Scar asked.

"Yes, I'm glad to see the two of you." Neyla said as Scar walked up to the device and put his explosive device and set it to where it would destroy the device.

"Tell me, Neyla. Do you love me?" Sly asked taking off his mask.

"Of course I do, Sly. Despite your methods, you've done more good than harm. You've never killed innocent people and you've saved my life 3 times. And despite what you are, I love you." Neyla said pulling Sly into a deep kiss.

"Brother, my device is set. Get away from the blast." Scar said as he tackled Sly and Neyla as Scar's device destroyed the hypnosis device, making the Clockwerk eyes fall. Scar quickly got one of the eyes. "Where is the other eye?"

"Are you looking for this, hunter?" They looked up and saw none other than Carmelita, holding the other eye.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH! You set me up!" Neyla said.

"And I would do it again if it means I finally get to kill the hunter and his friend! If you two want this, you'll have to catch me first." Carmelita said as she ran out of the room.

"Let's get that bitch! I want payback for what she has done us." Neyla said as she ran after Neyla along with Sly and Scar. Sly and Neyla chased Carmelita while Scar went another way. They chased her to a rooftop where Sly netted her. Sly grabbed the eye and put it into his container.

"Now, what shall we do with you, fox woman." Sly asked.

"I'LL KILL YOU PSYCHOTIC BASTARDS, I SWEAR IT!" Carnelita said when she suddenly got yanked off the roof by a web.

"Those eyes belong to me, hunter." The Contessa said from above them.

"You will pay for what you have done to me, insect woman! It will give me great pleasure to squeeze the life out of you with my own hands!" Sly said.

"I see you have a burning desire for revenge, Hunter. Tell me, what sort of crime set you on this path?" Contessa asked.

"That will not matter when I kill you, insect woman." Sly said.

"Who freed you, Hunter? There is no way that you could have escaped from my prison without help." Contessa said.

"You are right, insect woman. He could not have escaped without my aid." A voice from behind the Contessa said. The Contessa looked behind her and was swap-kicked off the roof to Sly and Neyla. Scar jumped down as the Contessa got up.

"W-who are you?" Contessa asked.

Scar took off his mask as Sly took off his. When the Contessa saw Scar's face, she had a shocked and afraid. "An alien? You were raised by aliens?

"Yes. But unfortunately for you, you won't be alive to tell anyone about our existence." Sly said as he used his Shurikens to cut off all of the Contessa's legs. The Contessa fall on her back in pain as Sly got on top of her,. Sly grabbed her left arm and ripped it from her body then he ripped off the other one. But not before the Contessa had put something small on Sly's armor. Sly wrapped around her throat and started to squeeze tightly. After a minute, Sly let go and plunged his wrist blades into the Contessa stomach, grabbing her spine. The Contessa grunted in agonizing pain as she looked into Sly's eyes and saw a murderous rage in them. Sly looked into her eyes and saw that she was nothing but a sniveling coward and monster. Sly ripped the Contessa's spine out of her, making her blood spay out.

Neyla looked away as she did want to see Sly ripping someone's spine out of them, especially the Contessa. "I don't think I will ever get used to that, Sly."

"Brother, I have detected the fox woman's mercenaries coming this way. We must leave now." Scar said. They sent their pods to their position and they turned to Neyla while putting their masks back on.

"Neyla, you have to come with us." Sly said.

"Come with you? Why?" Neyla asked.

"Because the fox woman has set you up, Neyla. Your paymasters and the rest of the Klaww gang will be after you. The only way that you will be safe for now is by coming with us." Scar said.

Neyla thought about what they said and knew they were right. Carmelita still had the evidence that framed her and she would more than likely use it against her. And with the picture she showed the Contessa when she and Sly were captured, Barkley and the rest of Interpol would more than likely believe her and throw her in prison as an accessory to every kill that Sly committed. She decided she would have to get evidence that Carmelita framed her.

"Alright I'll go with you. But only until I get evidence that can prove that bitch Carmelita framed me." Neyla said.

"Fair enough, Neyla. Let's go." Sly said.

They got into their pods, with Neyla getting in with Sly. They then flew back to their ship and put the Clockwerk eyes with the rest of the parts that were on the ship. When that was done, Sly and Scar turned to Neyla, who was amazed at seeing such advanced technology. "Come, Neyla, there are some things that you will need if you are going to be with us for some time." Scar said as they led Neyla to a room with armor and weapons.

Sly handed a set of armor, weapons, and a mask to Neyla. "Put those on, Neyla. You will need them if you want to get the evidence that you need."

Sly said Scar walked out of the room and waited outside the door. Neyla looked at the armor, weapons and mask. After a few minutes, she started putting on the armor, weapons and mask. When she was through, she walked out of the room. When Sly and Scar saw Neyla in her new armor, they looked impressed. "The armor, weapons, and mask suit you well, Neyla." Scar said.

Sly thought that she looked very much like a beautiful and strong hunter in her new armor, weapons and mask. "It does suit you, Neyla. But now you must be taught how to use them. We are going to train you for two weeks time. That should be enough time until we begin our next hunt." Sly said.

"Are you up to the challenge, Neyla?" Scar asked.

"After a few minutes, Neyla answered. "Yes I'm ready."

Sly and Scar looked at each other and nodded. "Then come, Neyla, your training begins now." Sly said.

"Do not disappoint us." Scar said as they took Neyla outside and deep into the jungle to begin her training.

There you go, guys, Sly and Scar's rescue mission and Sly's revenge is complete. Next chapter will be the hunt for a certain lumberjack. Neyla will have some parts to play while learning from Sly and Scar. Rate and review. See you next chapter, guys.
