Sly: Well Delia this is where we all meet before we get to work.
Delia: Wow, I've never meet people from other worlds before.
Unit: Your gonna love here.
Caboose: Oh Hello ghost lady, wait are you a computer program? because my best friend Church or Epsilon is a computer program too and we all first thought that he was a ghost but then after going through a lot of adventure we found out that he was actually a computer program and Tucker got pregnant and had a baby alien which he named Tucker Jr. but we all calm him Junior beacuse he and his daddy have the same name and I'm lacking oxygen and I'm gonna lie down now. *Falls to the floor face first*
Unit:...maybe not but it's a nice place to talk to others.
Fox: Oh hey SLy, Unit. Who's your new friend?
Delia: Delia, Delia Witchcraft.
Tails: Did you just say Witchcraft?
Me: No Tails she is not an AU version of the one you know.
Tails: Oh ... never mind.
Delia: I think I'm gonna like it here.
Me: Good for you, now On with the show.
Last time Sly, Unit and their new ally Delia Witchcraft, a ghost Arabian leopard who agreed to help them by giving them info on how to defeat Mz Ruby's ghost cat army in exchange that they help her with her own task which has yet to be mention. Now the group is surrounded by a large group of ghost cats and what's worse is there are also special lanterns that would bring them back no matter how many times they defeat them. What will happen to them now? Let's find out, now!
-x-x-x-
"This is gonna be a long night." Sly said as he got into his battle stance. Sly then turned to Delia with slight suspicious in his eyes "You better have not set us up." He growled at the ghost leopard, Delia rapidly shook her head and hands "N-no I wouldn't set you honest, I had no idea." Then Unit spoke up, "H-h-how a-about w-we t-ta-talk about t-t-this la-later." He sounded nervous but then again being surrounded by a bunch of ghost cats would make anyone shake in fear. Sly nodded "Fine but now everyone scatter!" He said as he swung his cane at the nearest ghost and ran towards the closes lantern. Within seconds of the ghost realizing on what happen, they immediately charged at the three, four ghost stood (Me: figuratively Caboose: But Church stood on the ground when he was a ghost Tucker: Dude, he was a hologram at the time and we didn't know he was a A.I back then.) in Sly's way. The first one trusted it's left arm at the raccoon, but Sly sweep it away with his cane, drop on his knees and slide past the ghost from under its feet. The next two that stood in his way charged straight at him, Sly quickly leapt into the air, while in mid-air, he then slammed his cane at one of the ghost's right cheek causing it to ram itself to the other ghost beside it. Then as he landed, he immediately leapt forwards straight at the last ghost, catching the ghost of guard, the raccoon trusted his left arm at the ghost cat head and pushed it downwards, he then twirled vertically hitting the ghost at the back of its head and with the momentum he then slammed his cane down at the lantern smashing it to bits. With the first lantern destroyed, Sly had a small smile on his face before he headed to the next lantern.
Unit on the other hand, he was just running as fast as he could as a majority of the ghost cats seems to be chasing him for some reason. He took a quick glance to check if the ghost were still chasing him, his visor become pale as unfortunately for him the ghost were still chasing him and it also seemed that their number's increase. "AHHHHHH!" he yelled at a very high pitched girly scream "GO AWAY! I'M NOT EVEN TECHNICALLY ALIVE!" them but they ignored him and continued their pursuit. As Unit kept running, Delia appeared beside him, "Umm…you do realize that you can shoot them with your shock pistol right?" Unit looked at her for a few seconds before drawing his shock pistol and began firing at the ghost cats behind him. "Did you really just realize that?" She asked, clearly stupefied at Unit 'Now I'm sure he is him. Even after100 years he's the still the same.' With every shot, the number of ghost cats that chase the robotic member of the gang reduced significantly but then the lanterns light suddenly grew brighter before more ghost cats came out from them. Unit lowly lowered his pistol and turned to Delia "You said that those lanterns' are their gateways right?" Delia nodded "What would happen if oh I don't know…I were to take this conveniently place lantern right next to and I don't know toss it at another lantern?" Unit asked. Delia gave him a confused look "Well that would cause the lanterns to destroyed and would force any nearby ghost cat back to the spirit realm…why?" She replied, without another word, Unit threw the lantern at another lantern destroying both at once, as both lanterns broke a small flash of light emitted from the lantern, six unlucky ghost cats that were too close to the light let out a wail of pain before vaporizing.
Delia was a bit shock at Unit sudden action "W-wow…" was all she could say. Unit felt pleased with the result, but then he heard moaning, he instantly froze up. He slowly turned his head to the left to see another horde of ghost cats charge straight at him. "Oh dammit." He said a before he started running…again. Sly and Unit kept fighting their way through the ghost cats to the remaining lanterns, Sly use various acrobatic moves to evade the ghost cats' assaults, he copied Unit's move and threw a lantern at another lantern with similar results. As the duo destroyed more of the lanterns, the number of ghost cats returning decrease dramatically, now they were down to the last of the lanterns but there was one slight problem, the remaining ghost cats stood in their way and the last lantern was allowing a larger number of ghost cats through though it was far more slower than it was before.
"Sly, how exactly are we going to get past that?" Unit asked, as he pointed at the thirty ghost cats in front of them, Sly thought for a moment before he had a rather mischievous grin on his lips, "I've got an idea but…" Unit looked at him confused before realizing the message "…I'm not gonna like aren't I?" Sly just nodded, Unit hung his head down and let out a sigh, Sly then whispered the plan to Unit, who immediately started shacking in fear, "Why Sly? Why do you have to come up with this crazy plan?" "I don't know, it just comes to me." He replied as he got into a running position, Unit was about to say something but decided that there was no point in saying it and he too got into a running position as well, Delia watched from above 'I wonder what their up too?' she thought to herself. Then Unit started running straight at the ghost cats, firing his shock pistol at any ghost cats in his way, then Sly started running as well, he followed Unit from behind. When Unit was at the center of the group of ghost cats, he came to abrupt stop, turned around and stretched his arms towards Sly, Sly then leapt into the air and curled himself into a ball and landed into Unit's hand and with a good toss, the bot threw Sly like a baseball straight to the last lantern passing the ghost cats with ease. While in mid-air, Sly uncurled his body and using the momentum of the toss, he slam his cane and the lantern shattering it to bits, a ghost cat that was just about to exit the lantern let out a viral shriek before disappearing. Delia watched as the remaining ghost cats turned their attention to Sly, she then noticed Unit used the distraction as an opportunity to open his right chest panel and a small grey keyboard with a large button in the center of the board came out, with wasting any time he began typing various key's before the button on the keyboard glow green. Some of the ghost cats noticed the green led and turned around to face Unit but it far too late as he pressed the button, then suddenly a huge blast of electricity emitted from Unit's body, the blast covered about forty percent of the platform, the blast wiped out the remaining ghost cats.
With the last of the ghost cats destroyed, Unit then drop to one knee, Sly and Delia moved closer to the bot who was panting. Sly help Unit up to his feet. "You alright?" Sly asked, Unit nodded before speaking "Yeah *cough* I'm *cough* fine but let's never *cough* do that again. Now my power level is below 45% but it will have to do." Sly nodded, he then turn to Delia "Delia, we've destroyed the lanterns now what's next?" Delia stared at the raccoon for a few seconds before realizing what he meant "Oh right, from here we need to head to river that's not too far from here." She said pointing north of their position. Sly nodded, then he, Unit and Delia headed towards the river, as they headed to the river, Unit for some unknown reason would occasionally take a quick glance at Delia, even thought he was in front of the bot, Sly did noticed his partner's actions, he slowly down his pace and wedged himself between Unit and Delia. "Hey Unit do you mind going up ahead and scan the area up front." Unit looked at Sly, confused to what he said. "Sure…why?" "In case we run into unexpected company and I would like my head as it is." Unit thought for a moment before nodding and headed off.
When Unit was out of their sight, Delia looked at Sly confused to why he sent Unit ahead. "So, how long are you going to keep the act on?" he asked, She looked at with a mixture of confusion and shock plastered over her face, "Wh-what are you talking about Sly?" She replied trying to dodge the question but Sly just gave her 'no point in trying' looks at her, she sigh in defeat. "I've known Unit since he was born." This cause Sly to stop in his track, clearly shock at what she just said "Wait just a minute, born? As in Unit was created not born." She shook her head "His body was made but not his soul. The truth is Unit is actual a spirit inhabit in that body, a year ago a frog by the name of Raleigh came here and ask Mz Ruby for a spirit, one which he intended to use for a project he intended to commence. I didn't really understand what he was talking about but in the end Mz Ruby agreed to help him in exchange for his assistance in something else." Sly closed his eyes, allowing the info to sink in. "I'm starting to see the picture now but…" Sly looked at her once again and asked "…You knew him in his past life didn't you?" She nodded, "I knew since we were kids, we grew up together in a small village that was once not far from here, his family and mine were always friendly with one another, I was a young mystic in training while he was a carpenter apprentice and he also had a great aim with any kind of fire arm." She stared off into the distance, she chuckled to herself before continuing "He still acts like he did before, he's funny, cheerful, helpful and he must have gotten his fear of ghost back as he was always afraid of them whenever I summon them. Even though he knew of my power's he still stayed by my side until the end." Sly looked at her curious to what she meant by that but decided not to ask any further. "It sounds like you love him very much." She nods again, Sly nodded as well and pick up his pace "Then I wish you the best of luck getting him to remember after we beat Mz Ruby and get out of here." He said walking ahead of her, Delia stop in mid-air and just stared at the raccoons back "Wait when you mean 'we' do you mean…" before she could finish her sentence, Sly suddenly came to a stop, he turn his head to his right and had a large grin on his face "Well you are now part of the Cooper Gang. So of course I mean all of us." He said before he continued walking, Delia watch him walk off, she then had a large smile plastered on her face, she then quickly chase after him.
Not long after their talk, they meet up with Unit along the road, he reported that there were no guards of any kind but he did detect movement but couldn't get a definite position. As they approach the river, Sly noticed something at the corner of his eyes, he saw a red and yellow swamp skiff that was big enough for him and Unit to ride on, tied to a nearby tree, he walked up to it, he noticed that it was damage and required repairs. Sly gestured Unit to come closer to him.
"Unit I need some of my tools." He said bluntly, Unit didn't question why as he his left shoulder panel opens up revealing a number of wrenches, screwdrivers, wires of different types and a small blow torch stored. Sly pulled his goggles over his eyes, grab the blow torch and a wrench.
"Time to get to work." He said as he started repairing the skiff.
-x-x-x-
Back at the van, Ava was listening to some songs on her phone to try an distract herself from the boredom of waiting in the van. Adam busy looking through Unit's design that he download from said bot, as he was examining the spec's he came across something interesting in Unit's design.
"Well this is something peculiar…" the lupine said to himself as his right hand scratch his chin. Ava looked over from the driver seat, she pulled out her earphones, paused the song she was currently playing which was Me & My Girls by Fifth Harmony.
"Adam what's up?" She asked, climbing over her seat to the lupine, she look at the screen that displayed Unit's interior design. As her eyes looked at the spec she immediately had no idea what all of it meant but she did noticed something strange in the design, in Unit's head at the very center of it was what appeared to be a small object that looked like an eye (Me: Okay it looks like an eyecon from Kamen Rider Ghost. Geoffrey: You sure do like that show don't you? Me: Yep, it's my most favourite Kamen rider so far.) attach to various wires.
"What is that?" she asked pointing at the strange object on the screen. Adam just shrugged his shoulder.
"Don't know sis, but base on what i know so far, the thing is called an 'SOULDRIVE' and it's what functions Unit's entire body and what gave him his personality. Other than that I have no idea what it is." He finished. The wolf then suddenly sat up straight and sniffed the air; he squinted his eyes and pinched his nose. "Ugh Sis did you just let one rip!?" suddenly his vision started becoming blurry "Woooh siss whyyy iiss tthhee worlllddd spinnnniiing? Ugh." Adam said before he rested his head on his keyboard before passing out.
"Adam? Adam!? Adam!" she said shacking her younger brother, she then sniffed the air herself then immediately covered her mouth and nose. "Dammit it's sleeping gas." She thought to herself, she then franticly tried to find the source of the smell however her vision too started to blur up "I inhaled too much already…i…ca…n't hol…d out m…uch lon…ge…r" she then passed out on the floor of the van beside Sly's bike. Then the van's back door handle tilted a bit before the doors were open, there stood the ever more familiar serpent, Lauranze stood in front of the unconscious siblings with a grin on his face.
"Vell zhisss vorked better zhan I hoped." He said to himself proudly, he then turned to the other figure that was standing right behind him, it was female Peafowl, she had mostly blue feather on her body, her collapsed tail consisted of green, yellow, lighter blue and orange, and she has silver long roughly shoulder-lenght hair and covered her right golden eye. Her clothes on the other hand weren't as colorful as her feathers as her she wore a black, leather tank top with a zipper down the front overtop a slightly longer, white tank top, a black, leather skirt with two black ribbons tied on either leg, black, leather, fingerless gloves and black and white shoes. Lauranze noticed the pain in her eyes and let out a long sigh "Cresssst, pleassse now isss not zhe time to think a about it."
"I know but still…" the avian now named Crest said, she had a southern bell accent, there was an uncomfortable tone in her voice and she held her right arm with left arm over chest. She then felt a hand on her right shoulder; she turns to see Lauranze with a soft smile on his face.
"Cressst, I may know zhe guilt you have on zhem but now your atoning for your sssinsss, I'm ssssure zhey underssstand, bessside zhey did forgive your old friend Jerry, I'm sssure zheyvill forgive you too." He said trying to calm her down, she then nodded. "Good because I need you to drive because I can't for…" he then pointed at his tail "…Obvioussss reasssonsss." He said with a smug smile, Crest rolled her eye but giggled at her friends humour.
"You and your jokes, but you do know how to make a gal feel better." She said walking to the front of the van, opens the driver side door and hopped in.
"You know you love it, beautiful." Said slithering into the back of the van and closed the doors behind him.
-x-x-x-
"…one more wire and done!" Sly exclaimed as he finished repairing the swamp skiff, he wiped any sweat he had on his for head with his left arm. Unit and Delia just sat beside the raccoon the whole time he was repairing the vehicle.
"Sly, you seem happy after fixing that thing. Why?" Delia asked the raccoon who was putting his tools back into Unit's shoulder. Sly turns his head to face and just smiles.
"Well a great man thought that it's a mechanic's pride to repair vehicles that can still be saved." He replied as he remember those exact words Edd told him when he was teaching him about being a mechanic. He then got on the skiff and started the engine, as the engines revved up, Sly and a smile on his face "Ah purrs like a kitten." He said to himself, he then gestured Unit to get on. Unit did as he was told and stood behind Sly, and with a turn of a handle the skiff sped off up stream.
As Sly, Unit and Delia headed up stream, the ghost leopard decide to talk to Unit some, "Hey Unit, I have some questions I would like to ask you." Unit turns his head to face her and shrugs his shoulders.
"Sure why not." He simply replied, but something in the back of his head made him feel…relax and easy when talking to her.
"From what I learn from Sly, you join his team during one of their previous 'heist' right and you originally join because you wanted pay back against your creator?" The bot nodded "Well I'm wonder why you decided to stay with them after the whole ordeal?" Unit looked at her, thinking about now he could have just left and went his separate ways from Sly and the other but yet he chose not to.
"Well they were the first to ever treat me like a person then a tool, they trusted me even though we only just meet and they made me a part of their family," he then tapped his chest "Besides, Interpol saw me escaping with Sly and Ava and they think I was one of them, plus I don't think there will be a lot of opportunities for me being a robot and all but thanks for asking Del."
"I see…wait what did you just call me?" She said realizing at what he just called her. Sly tilted his head a bit.
"Del?" He said, confused at the moment before he realized that it was a nickname for Delia. Unit tilted his head confused as well but for a different reason.
"What?" he asked clearly not understanding Delia's shocked expression. "All I said was Del."
"How do you know that name?" She asked. Unit just shrugged his shoulders.
"Don't know, it just came to me, like it was in the back of my mind." He replied, Delia just stared at him her eyes wide open "He's remembering, it's slow but he's remembering." Then suddenly her thought were disrupted when a loud beep came from Unit interrupted her. "Um Unit what is those that beeping sound mean?"
"That's my proximity warning; it means something is coming at us." He said, he raised his right arm and a small screen emerged from behind a panel. On the screen was radar, two blue dots indicating him and Sly and a large red dot exactly 400 meters away from them. Before Unit could even get a word out, suddenly the swap was silence by a loud roar. Sly, Unit and Unit slowly turned their heads to the back, as they turn Sly gulp, Unit grabbed Sly's shoulder's and wrapped his legs around the raccoon's waist and Delia stick out her tongue a bit and knocked her head softly with her right hand.
"Oops, did I forget to mention that there was a large serpent that used to live in this swap before Mz Ruby took over. Haha, my bad." Delia said, as the three of them stared at the gigantic slithering through the green swap water behind them.
"AHHHHHHH!" Sly and Unit yelled as loud as they could, Sly pulled the skiff's lever harder and the vehicle sped off as fast as it could, however the large serpent heard them and began chasing them. Delia remain where she was as she watch her new teammates sped off and a large serpent chased after them leaving her behind, after exactly three full minutes, she finally realized that she was left behind.
"HEY WAIT FOR ME!" she yelled chasing after them.
Me: Cliffhanger's, cliffhanger's, get your cliffhanger's here.
Sly: A giant snake...really?
Lauranze: I find zhat very offensssive.
Me: hey it was part of the game and I wanted to add it.
Savage: BwAhAHaHaHAhaHA! *Runining away from Shadow*
Shadow: Get back her so i can #$%^ing break your #$%ing body you #$%^*&!
Fox: What the hell? WHy?
Grif: Oh i just showed him the latest Death Battle of Mewtwo V.S Shadow...i think we may have a problem.
*Very VERY loud explosion and someone outside yelling 'My CAR!'*
Simmons: Gee you think?
