I own none of the characters in Sly Cooper or it's sequels.
I only own 1 OC in this fic, her name being Tilly the Rabbit (who is 12 years old).
I will let you know if a new OC will come into play at any point during the fanfic.
With this out of the way, let's begin.

Ch21

Our group decided it best to just return back to our hideout until the time came for us to meet up with Carmelita at the volcano, so it gave me plenty of time to study up on the Thievius Raccoonus pages that I had received from Panda King. The first one, which I immediately showed Bentley and Murray, was for Otto Van Cooper, who had detailed notes about machinery, as he was weak physically and had to resort to machines in order to work his thievery. So we would soon got a turret on the top of the van and a battering ram on the front of it, which made me very pleased.

The next page was that on Huckleberry Cooper, who perfected the ability to move while staying invisible, which was an addition to Slytunkhamen's ability. I smiled at this and tried it out, managing to surprise Sly when I stole his hat off of his head and placed it on Murray's head. "Tilly, I know you did that," Sly smirked with a chuckle as he got his hat back from Murray. "I can now move while staying invisible," I smirked at him as I then read the next page, not getting any voices in my head just yet.

"Hmm... Sir Augustine of Cooper's notes on how to... DEFY GRAVITY?! AWESOME!" I exclaimed loudly as I felt something strange happen to me afterwards and everyone looked at me in shock. "Um... did you suddenly get taller, Tilly?" Murray asked me. I then looked under me and saw I was no longer touching the ground! I was sitting Indian style in the air! "This is so sweet!" I giggled giddily as I then read the next two final pages. "Colonel Reid Cooper's the one who perfected a technique to stop time all around him for a set amount of time... that's pretty handy," I smiled. "And finally, Thaddeus Winslow Cooper III, the master of disguise, and who created a technique that could allow him to change into any outfit he saw fit at any time. Just imagine it, and it'll magically change the attire you have on," I said with a smile.

"Okay, now time to go to sleep... I have to talk to the others," I said as I then drifted off to sleep, finally entering dreamworld after at least 10 minutes.

Once I was in my dream, I looked around to all of the Cooper clan members with a smile, as all of them were smiling as well. "So, Tilly. Now ye've got to decide on who you wish to rescue and which of us will simply move onto the Afterlife," Henriette said to me. "And don't worry if you decide not to rescue some of us. We'll happily go to the Afterlife with pride in our souls," Sally said. "Okay... um... The 6 that I want to choose... um... Kiri... Sally... Henriette... Bruce O Coop... Slaigh... and... Karin," I said to the group.

"Okay, now that that's decided, we need to choose which of us will go in each eye," Sally said as she and the other 5 I mentioned stepped forward and the others looked on with happy smiles. I sensed no ill will on any of them, so that at least made me happy. "Well, how about the left eye is Kiri, Sally, and Henriette and the right eye will be Bruce, Slaigh, and Karin?" I asked with a smile. "Sounds like a plan. We'll move all of our coding to the eyes whenever that happens. And Tilly? All I ask is that you stay safe, okay?" Karin asked with a worried smile. I hadn't spoken to her much in awhile, but she was incredibly kind whenever I did speak to her. "I'll not only stay safe. I'll rescue you guys with fire in my spirit," I said with a smile.

And then the dream ended to loud whirring noises that I hadn't expected.

"H-Hey! What's making that loud racket?!" I asked out loud as I saw Bentley and Murray making the modifications to the team van. "We're making some upgrades to the van like you told us. Sorry if we suddenly woke you up," Murray said with a nervous smile with a greasy face. "It's alright. I need something to bide my time," I smiled as I then saw that there was a thing on the television that I smiled at. It was a news story about our gang.

"From out of nowhere and having built up an amazing rep over the course of a year, the mysterious bandit known as 'The Kitchen Kid' has decided to not only take on one of the most vile groups of all time, but defeat 4 of 5 of their members!" the news reporter said with a smile, which I liked, as she looked to be an angelfish with a small thing on her gills. It was a water pack that went to her back and pumped water into her gills so she could speak and breath.

"Not much is known about the Kitchen Kid's motives, but her capabilities have proven their worth when she took out each of the members of the ruthless gang of villains known as the Fiendish Five with only one more member left. So far, she has defeated Raleigh the Frog, who is found guilty of piracy, mass murder, and weather tampering, in the Isle of Wrath. She took out Muggshot the Bulldog, who ran an illegal gambling ring in Mesa City, ran out the citizens of the city, and being a big mob boss. She took out a voodoo priestess who planned on producing an army of zombies to take over Mexico. And now, she has done two amazing accomplishments at once. She took out the Panda King, who used fireworks to bury helpless villages in avalanches, while saving the life of a renowned Interpol officer at the same time!" the announcer said with a smile.

"What do you think about all of this, Barb?" she asked her co-anchor, a porcupine. "Well, Angie, I think that the fact that she's stealing from these guys is bad, but if you ask me, she's also saving police officers and innocent civilians. If I were to rank her on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give her a solid 15 for cahonies, because, if she wants to finish what she started against the Fiendish Five, she now has to tackle a monster, as shown onscreen," Barb said as she put a picture of a shadowy owl on the screen, which made me frown. No one had any real police footage of Clockwerk.

"This shadow is that belonging to the mysterious Clockwerk, who has committed hundreds upon thousands of murders for his whole life. And from what we've learned from a reliable source, Clockwerk is made completely of robotic body parts and has been able to live as far back as 1000 BC. So this means that this guy is pretty much eternally young," Barb said with a shudder. "Well, it sounds like this bird is pretty dangerous. I wish her the best of luck against this robot," Angie the angelfish said before it switched to a different story.
