I'm editing the first chapter for one VAS, also known as Very Annoying Stalker. The stalker in question is known as s82161. Do not seek him out because he is a danger to everyone on this site, ESPECIALLY anyone who makes Sly Cooper content!
He asks to 'borrow' story elements before then copying nearly everything and somehow making them worse while, at the same time, pestering the original writers to review his stories. And if they refuse, he harasses them. And if he gets blocked, he makes a bunch of fake names on this site to try and harass further. Such usernames include White Boy Rick and A Friendless Loser.
He tries to play the victim by saying he has bipolar disorder while, at the same time, threatening to come to peoples' houses and attack them (all fake threats). If anything, give him tons of PMs at any time that you can, since he admitted to me that he uses his father's email to do these heinous acts behind his family's back, most of which have forced people off the platform and made others, like me, extremely angry. You have one of two choices. Give him bad karma by sending him tons of PMs to make his father realize that he's doing these things. And if anyone has any questions, give either myself or The Toxic Love Machine a PM to see what he's said to others in order to find out how truly desperate he is.
And before anyone says that I shouldn't feed the trolls, he loves to spam comments if ignored for too long. He even admitted to me during one of his rants that he only does these things because he wants to be like a villain character he saw in a movie by 'testing the limits of humanity'. He is the DEFINITION of toxic cyber bully. And if he can make someone called The Toxic Love Machine think of him as toxic, then that proves just how terrible he is.
Chapter 1
The thunder clashed outside of my home as I tried to cook myself some grilled cheese sandwiches. I was currently in a very bad storm and I was wondering why it came out of nowhere. The weatherman said that it'd be clear skies for the entire county for five days, but not an hour later, this horrid thunderstorm came in! My power had actually failed twice, but it still was on thanks to a backup generator I had in case of emergencies.
"Ah, finally!" I groaned as I flipped the finished sandwich of cheesy goodness on the paper plate, it being cooked perfectly. Not too crunchy, not too soft, just a perfect blend of the two. "Now to play and eat at the same time," I smiled as I proceeded over to my chair nearby and sat my butt into it. I then wondered what I was going to play, turning on my PS3 and wondering if I'd have any luck with any of my downloaded games. But then I remembered that all my downloaded games required internet to play and I had no internet with this storm above my head.
"Welp, may as well go to the Sly trilogy collection. It's already installed, after all," I smiled as I booted up the game with just a couple button presses. But just as the startup screen began for the game, something happened. Something shocking. Out of nowhere, I heard a clash of thunder happen not five feet away from me! And it just so happened to strike right through my roof and directly onto my television! And the moment it happened, I gasped as the television then began to swirl on the screen. But that wasn't the worst part. Out of nowhere, I swore I could feel some kind of suction. It started to affect my hair, but then I gasped as it increased in power and I tried to hold onto my chair for dear life!
"NO! THIS IS A DREAM! COME ON! PLEASE BE A DREAM!" I exclaimed in fear as I felt my grip loosening on the chair. It was then that I gasped as I felt my fingers fail me just as soon as I heard my sister, Megan.
"Ella! What's going on?!" I heard Megan exclaim. It was then that I felt my grip fail and I felt my body get sucked into the void of the television.
"MEGAN!" I exclaimed back at her. It was the last thing I would be able to muster before I finally looked behind me to where the vortex was at. It seemed that I was falling down an endless chasm with tons of pictures of the very first Sly game passing me by as I fell. Before I finally felt my face connect with the ground and I felt pain.
"Oogh... ow... what... what just happened?" I groaned as I picked myself up and looked around. And when I did, I gasped. The different pictures on the wall, the computer chair, the nearby television on the planks of wood and a sofa with it. And of course, the maps on the wall depicting different areas with an X mark on them. "Oh... my... god... this... this can't be real... I'm dreaming... I have to wake myself up!" I exclaimed as I pinched my hand, seeing that I was still human, thank god. But nothing happened even with the pain.
"Wake up! COME ON! WAKE UP, ELLA! You need to! Megan needs a ride to college tomorrow!" I exclaimed in anger as I tried punching myself in the face. Again, nothing at all but pain. "This... is this really happening?... I... I can't believe it... Meg..." I whimpered before I finally huddled my knees together and I started to cry. I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I seemed to have gotten sucked from my own universe into the universe of Sly Cooper. And I had no fucking idea how to get back home.
"Okay, so where are we going to go first?" I heard a voice behind me. It was a voice that I knew far too well. Sly's voice. I then heard a door slide open and I simply sat on the ground, wondering what in the hell these guys would think if they happened to see me.
"Huh? Whoa! Who's this?!" asked the lovable hippo of Murray. I sighed and simply sat there, not even daring to make a sound.
"I... I don't know... this is a first... what is this creature?" I heard Bentley ask in confusion. I couldn't help but cry some more. I normally wouldn't be shy if this were some kind of other situation, like if I could go back home at any given time, but I was unable to go back home at all.
I then felt a duo of hands on my shoulders from behind and I sighed, knowing by the gloves that it was Sly. "Hey, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" Sly asked me with a softness to his voice. I sighed at his words and finally looked behind me. He looked much more like his incarnation in Thieves in Time, which I guess made sense, as it was the most well-designed character model for him and his friends. Same with Bentley and Murray, but all three of them looked like their Thieves in Time models, but with the designs of the first game.
"I... I'm crying because... Well... I don't even know if you'd believe my story.." I sighed with a sob.
"Listen, you were able to break into our hideout with no sweat and you look like something we've never seen before. We'd believe anything you said right now," Sly said, me smiling at him but my eyes still watering.
"Okay... my name is Ella... I actually come from a different universe... I was playing a video game when suddenly, my television got struck by lightning... the TV began to make a swirl pattern to it and it sucked me into it... my sister, Meg... she saw everything as I got pulled in... but now I don't think I'll ever see her again... I don't know how I could possibly go back home to my own universe... so that's my story... as for what I am, I'm something called a human... in my universe, humans like me are the superior creatures. All other animals are much less intelligent, they almost never wear clothes, and almost none of them talk unless they happen to be a bird trained to do so..." I sighed, telling them like it is. But I intentionally left out the other parts about me knowing them all already and the entirety of their video games and plots. Mostly because I feel that I'd be asked how the world would play out like I was a crystal ball.
"Wow... that sounds pretty screwy. But what are you good at?" Sly asked.
"Honestly, I only play video games and drive cars. I have no idea how to really do anything else... um... what's that thing over there?" I asked, seeing something nearby that made me confused. It was a replica of Sly's cane, but it was made completely of steel and had a handle that was like a cutlass.
"That's actually my mom's old cane... Before I lost her and my dad in a tragic accident," Sly said as I saw his hand twitching.
"I see... maybe... would it be okay if I could stick with you guys? I really don't know much else to go, and I don't really know what else I could do to contribute to a world filled with talking animals, especially when some of you... don't wear pants," I said, stating the obvious just because.
"Honestly? Of all the things to be concerned with about us, it's the fact we don't wear pants?" Sly asked.
"Every human in my world wears pants and a shirt. So what's your deal?" I asked them with a small smile.
"Well, we don't really show anything unless we happen to be actively trying to make them appear. But I'm not one to talk in a raunchy nature," Bentley said with a frown.
"Okay... I got you. But I need clothes on me when I help you out. So... what do you say? Me help you guys? Or are you going to kick me out?" I asked with a small sigh.
"Well, we could always use another head on the team. You think you can handle using my mom's cane?" Sly asked.
"I think I could manage," I smiled at him.
"Then we have our answer. Murray, Bentley, time to go to the van. Our first target is Sir Raleigh the Frog. Okay, Ella. Time for a team-up," Sly smiled at me. That finally made my tears go away. Somehow, being on the team to go take down numerous thugs? And do it with Sly Cooper, one of my favorite video game characters? It sounded fun! But I needed to learn that this was my reality now, learn how to do the things Sly could, and, of course, find out how the hell I could return back home.
"Alright, let's begin our journey," I said as I grabbed Sly's mom's cane and held it in my grasp. "I think I should give myself a title of some kind. How about, Ella Unknown?" I asked, making Sly smirk as we then went out the door to the van. After all, the hideout was a train car in France.
"Sounds unique enough to get some eyebrows raised," Sly smirked at me as we hopped into the car and Murray then turned on some special buttons on the driver's seat and the van did something I gawked at. It began to hover off of the ground and we proceeded to the northwest (smart move, since the game said they went around the entire planet to get to Raleigh's location instead of going just a bit over the ocean). "Now I need to study up on one of the people who killed my family... Sir Raleigh the Frog," Sly said as he began to read the file of the most idiotic boss in the entire game. A frog that became a criminal because he was bored of being rich.
