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 now, at this time, 14 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.
Ch25
We ended up doing just a bunch of small things over the course of the next couple of years. The other Coopers decided to just be with our gang to make it a real Cooper Gang and I still worked with Sly whenever he asked, which my family totally understood, as thieving was pretty much how I got them money. But then Sly gave me a desperate announcement on my binocucom. "Tilly, we need to go to the Le Noir Museum in France. We need to do something big," Sly said with seriousness in his voice. "What do we need to steal from a museum?" I asked him. "Remember our final opponent back in the day? We need to get rid of his parts for good. And they are inside that museum," Sly said with seriousness, which I immediately realized was important.
When we defeated Clockwerk, Sly found the Thievius Raccoonus somewhere, but he didn't say where, and we saw that the pages that Clockwerk had weren't mostly about new moves, in fact, there were only certain Coopers he had and none of them made any moves! But he did have Thievius Raccoonus pages that had intricately detailed notes about Clockwerk and how his different body parts acted. It said the eyes were able to stop opponents in their gaze, the heart would pump continuously no matter what happened to him, and his talons were sharp enough to slice through hardened steel! If those parts fell into the wrong hands, they could be used for very nefarious purposes or, worst possible outcome, they try to put Clockwerk back together!
I immediately donned my spoon, my boomerang, rolling pin, grabbed a whole bunch of red plastic forks, put the finger protectors on my fingers, and donned my ski mask over my face. This heist was a very important one and I knew it was a big one when I found out all the other Coopers, Bentley, AND Murray were going to get into the field with their own talents! And each of them had a different job that they were in charge of and we were separated into a few groups. Bentley and Bruce were the hackers, Murray and Slaigh the muscle, Henriette and Sally the spies, Kiri and Karin the pickpockets, and Sly and me as the ones to go through the whole complex together.
Sly and I started out in an exhibit of a dinosaur fossil that looked pretty cool to see in person. "Breaker Alpha foxtrot, this is The Wizard. Do you read me Sitting Duck and Kitchen Kid?" Bentley asked into our binocucoms. "This is Peeking Duck, I hear you Blizzard," Sly smirked with sarcasm, which made me giggle. "No, Sly, I'm The Wizard and you're Sitting Duck!" Bentley frowned. "I hear you loud and clear, Lizard," I smirked back at him myself, making him annoyed. "Forget it you guys aren't taking this seriously," Bentley frowned.
"The operation is indeed serious. I'm just adding a bit of humor. Now can you tell me in plain talk your status with Bruce?" I asked Bentley. "Well, we've ended up in the basement and we can rewire the rising elevator thingy, so long as you two can juice it all up with that there security system that I see in your 'cucoms," Bruce said, his slang really making me smile every time I heard it. "Hang tough, guys. We'll get up there quickly," I smiled as I grabbed hold of Sly and I jumped us to the top of the giant dinosaur's spine and Sly smiled. "I don't know why I didn't practice those skills near as much as you did, but now I am regretting that decision," Sly said with a nervous smile. "Well, the ones you did master are still pretty useful. Especially Spire Jump and Rail Walk," I said to him.
We then jumped to the ledge and I pulled up on the lever, which we then heard some feedback from Bentley and Bruce. "Okay, I splice the wires, OW!" Bentley exclaimed from getting shocked. "Hold on... there we are going," Bruce smiled as the elevator then came up and we saw the two of them appear to us. "Okay, okay. Let me at that security computer," Bruce said as he rushed past and began to hack furiously at the computer console, which I could tell made Bentley a bit jealous. "Okay, the lights of terror are down... now the deadly lasers... and, boom goes the dynamite!" Bruce smirked as the gate finally raised for us to pass.
"Presto, all clear," Bentley smirked. "Thanks guys, for your first time out Bentley, you're really doing well," Sly smiled. "Oh this operation is FAR from complete," Bentley said. "Now that the lights and lasers are gonzo, The Murray and Slaigh should be heading into position to meet up with ya to unlock the way to ol' metal bird's parts. We'll stay here and provide techno support while you all go on ahead," Bruce smirked. I nodded my head at this and Sly and I began to go through the different areas and we heard Bentley start to talk over the loudspeakers. "Attention all guards. This is the network administrator. We're installing some new software into the... uh.. security mainframe. Now, uh, don't be alarmed, but the system's going to be turned off for awhile... uh... thank you! You're all amazing. Great job," Bentley said, his deep voice impression making me giggle at the unintentionally horrid acting. But the guards actually fell for it and just continued roaming the outside halls with no clue that we were stealing from them!
We then came onto an open balcony and we met up with Henriette and Sally, who jumped up to our position while staying invisible. "According to what we overheard from the guards, the Clockwerk parts are being stored up there, by that giant snake statue and behind those iron bars," Sally said. "Unfortunately, the route through the garden to the tough guys' meeting point is filled with them guards," Henriette said with a frown as I noted the rope next to them. "We'll just take the rope way around," I smiled as I jumped onto the rope and began to walk along it with no issue at all. "Come on, Sly," I smirked as the suave ringtail jumped after me and we began to run along to rope to our destination.
Once we got to the rendezvous, we saw that no one was around... at first... and then we heard something from above us. "THUNDER FLOP!" Murray exclaimed as he fell through the ceiling with Slaigh right behind him! He then destroyed nearly everything in the area he was in from his slam alone and jumped up with no scratches at all! Murray had gotten much stronger since I last saw him, that much was assured! "Greetings, citizens! I hope you weren't harmed by our meteoropic entrance," Murray smiled, making up a word out of nowhere. "No, Murray, we kept it at a safe distance," I smiled. "Good, good. The Thunder Flop knows neither friend nor foe. Only destruction," Murray smirked. "Less talk, more action! Let's lift this gate up," Slaigh said as he placed his hands underneath the metal gate and started to pull up, Murray helping him afterwards until they both were able to lift it up the whole way.
Once we were on the other side, Murray and Slaigh went to us with a smirk. "Another barrier stands before you. Fear not, I shall bend it like the truth!" Murray said as he picked up a stone statue and threw it at the bars with such force, they were demolished in a snap! And the statue was made of solid rock and he threw it at about 100 miles an hour! "Solid work, buddy! You're really in the zone," Sly smirked at him. We then saw a rope and Murray and Slaigh frowned. "Our hulking frames are too much for that puny rope. Go ahead and unlock the doors from the inside and we'll be waiting in the hallways to help you carry out the parts," Slaigh said with a smile.
Once we jumped on the rope and went up to the storage unit for the Clockwerk parts, we entered the place only to find out something incredibly wrong! Why? THE CLOCKWERK PARTS WERE GONE! And then, out of two mummy cases came out 2 cops. Carmelita and... a new face that I hadn't seen before. She was a purple-furred tiger with deep purple stripes, wearing a bonnet around her head, and having a whip as her weapon. "Freeze, you two!" Carmelita growled at us. "Carmelita Fox. As beautiful and unpredictable as ever," Sly smiled. "Whereas you crooks are SO predictable. You always return to the scene of the crime," Carmelita frowned.
"Um... what crime? We were expecting to find the Clockwerk parts here and we were planning on destroying them, not stealing them," I frowned. "Oh really? Then who broke in last night and made off with all the parts? Your gang has the motive," Carmelita frowned. "SOMEONE ALREADY STOLE THE PARTS?!" exclaimed a voice from nearby in the form of Kiri, who opened up the door at the top of the stairs, bursting in with Karin and looking shocked as we were. Carmelita looked confused about the other added members, but still had her tough cop persona on. "Don't play dumb with me," Carmelita frowned.
It was then that her partner spoke. "It might not have been him, Carmelita. The method of entry and guard casualties all point to this being a Klaww Gang job," the woman said. When she said those words, I was shocked. I had heard of the Klaww gang before and how they were from all different parts of the world, but all of them basically having the same gig. Producing and selling illegal spices. And these spices, when consumed too much, could make people go into uncontrolled rage or, at worst, drive their brains into insanity. "Constable Neyla, I allowed you to sit in on this stakeout as a favor to the Contessa. I really don't need any help," Carmelita frowned.
They then got into an argument, which Sly and I used to our advantage as I turned myself invisible and held onto Sly, which, in turn, made him invisible. We then jumped up to Tilly and Karin and exited the place before Carmelita could catch on. And when she finally did, we were already halfway through the halls. "DAMMIT! AFTER THEM!" Carmelita exclaimed as she only then started to run into the halls. Then the chase was on.
