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.

Ch26

Once the chase was on, our group ran down the halls and opened the doors for our other members to join us and run with us, which ended up making Carmelita very ticked off. "HOW MANY THIEVES DO YOU HAVE?!" Carmelita exclaimed in confusion. We then came to a dead-end and it was a window that led to another rooftop. "This is getting a little hot! Brains and Muscle? Go warm up the van. The rest of us will keep Carmelita busy," I said seriously. "You're ALL going to jail!" Carmelita exclaimed. "Pick us up at the rendezvous point!" I exclaimed at the 4 as they went into the doorway and I busted through the window and the others jumped out along with me.

I looked below us and saw that the police were surrounding us in a very awkward fashion, just as Carmelita burst out of another window from a different rooftop. "COME BACK HERE, RINGTAILS!" she exclaimed at us as we ran across the rooftops until we came across a rope, which Henriette looked worried about. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "Ugh... I don't know 'ow to run along ropes," she groaned. "Fine, we'll fly the rest of the way, you and me," I said as I put my arm around her and I activated the defy gravity technique, rushing along with the others in the air rather than on the ground. Once we reached the rendezvous point, we saw Bentley and the others rushing in with the van. "We're heading to your position! Jump in fast so we can get out of here!" Murray exclaimed. All 6 of us piled into the van and, once the doors were closed, Murray hit the gas and we ran off into the distance. "I'll find you, Kitchen Kid! And you too, Cooper!" Carmelita exclaimed.

Once we got away, I then started to think heavily. "Constable Neyla... why would she drop the name of a gang that possibly stole the Clockwerk parts?... Was it a slip of the tongue? Or did she intentionally give us a clue?" I asked aloud to the others. "Either way, it seems it's our only lead on the missing Clockwerk parts," Sly said as he thought for a bit. And I knew exactly what he was thinking about. The monster that was Clockwerk.

I thought about Clockwerk as well. The only way we were able to defeat him was because all 8 of us were helping each other to defeat Clockwerk, 9 if you included Carmelita. He was the one that killed tons of Coopers before, killed Sly's parents, and stole his family heirloom because of him being a monster. And from what I read in the Thievius Raccoonus from Slytunkhamen's portion, Clockwerk was actually organic at one point. The only reason he was now robotic is because his hatred fueled a first decision to replace his mortal body with soulless machinery. Well, it sure did the trick in the end. He lived on for thousands of years.

But now we had to do some research. Research about the Klaww gang. I immediately began typing at the computer in the back of the van to see the different members of the Klaww gang on our new computer, which had tons of stuff that only thieves could know about and a type of site that thieves could sell stolen stuff. "Hmm... there are 4 known members of the Klaww gang. There is Arpeggio, the leader of the gang who is a mechanical genius. Then there is Jean Bison, the international shipping baron who owns half the trains in Canada. Rajan lives in India and is an illegal spice trader. And the one closest to us, Dimitri Lousteau, who was a forger of money and paintings, but also the new owner of a night club on the west side of Paris... and according to this computer, he recently gained access to a new set of printing plates shaped like... tail feathers?! BINGO!" I exclaimed loudly the last part, everyone smiling after that. "Well then, let's go to a new Safehouse and we can go after this lizard boy," Kiri smirked.

After we made a new Safehouse next door to Dimitri's night club, Bentley gave me the first job and I simply jumped atop the rooftop with a smile. "I tell ya, Bentley. I'm going to have a real fun time robbing this night club," I smiled at him. "I share in your enthusiasm, but before we hit the place head-on, we'll need a bit of reconnaissance work," he said. "What do you have in mind?" I asked him. "For starters, we need to gain access to Dimitri's database. You need to go to those satellite dishes around the place and point them at the antenna on top of the Safehouse. Once that happens, I'll have complete access of Dimitri's database," Bentley smirked. "Sounds fun, I'm on it," I smiled happily.

I then jumped across the rooftops with high jumps, all the while smiling when I saw that there were rats all around the place that looked around whenever I jumped behind them. Sadly, I had no idea if they were Dimitri's guards or not, so I didn't dare hit them. I made it to the first satellite and redirected it to point at the Safehouse antenna, which made me smirk widely. "Heh. This is fun," I smiled as I went over to the next and saw it was on a water tower. I jumped onto the water tower from below and input the digits on this one to get it to point at the Safehouse as well. "Now for the last one," I smiled.

I then began to jump across the rooftops once more, hoping to get to the last satellite to see what was there. But on the way, I noticed something strange on the ground. It looked to be a strange ball of some sort. "Um... wonder what this is..." I said as I then looked it over and I saw that it had a button on it as well as a police badge symbol for Interpol. "Hmm... a cop was through here and dropped something?... I'll have Bentley inspect it later," I said to myself as I then finally went up to the last satellite dish and aimed it at the Safehouse with a smile.

And just as I was about to head on back after a good job, I ended up hearing the cracking of a whip from behind me, which made me instinctively turn around and brandish my weapon. "Hold it, Kid," said the voice of a person I didn't expect. "Constable Neyla?" I asked aloud when I saw her. "Yes, that's who I am. What of it?" she asked in a British accent. "Well... I found something on the ground earlier and I was wondering if it may belong to you," I said as I pulled out the strange device and gave it to her. "Ah! That's my walkie-talkie! I've been looking all over for it! T-Thank you!" Constable Neyla gawked at it. "You're welcome... now I have a question... was that Klaww Gang thing just a slip up? Or did you intentionally lead us here?" I asked her.

"I'm not as black and white as Carmelita. I know what a menace those Clockwerk parts are and I don't want the likes of the Klaww Gang putting them to use," Neyla frowned. "Well, we seem to share a common interest at least... do you happen to know where I can easily access the heart of Dimitri's operations?" I asked her. "There should be a hidden passage within the old wine cellar, but other than that, I have to ask... if the Klaww Gang already got most of the parts, then why do you happen to have the eyes?" Neyla asked me.

"Long story short, I had to rescue different people that were trapped inside of them. Now I just have them. And once we get all of those parts, we're going to try our damnedest to try and find out how to destroy Clockwerk forever," I said. "Good luck on that, then. I need to report back to my boss. Ta-ta," Neyla smiled as she did something that made me gawk in awe. She threw a ball of something down below her and, out of nowhere, a hole appeared underneath her and she jumped inside of it! "WOW! THAT WAS SO COOL!" I gawked in giddiness at that. "Do you know where to head next, Bentley?" I asked him. "Do just what Neyla said and head into the wine cellar. I already have Slaigh and Murray there to help out," Bentley said. "Good luck, Tilly," I heard Karin smile at me. "Thanks," I smiled back at my allies as I headed to the wine cellar that Neyla pointed out.
