Hey everyone,
I swear, all these stories are just tidbits from which I drew my inspiration for all of my other Sly Cooper stories. This one is actually where I got my inspiration for The Cooper Clan from, which isn't even just a Sly Cooper story, but actually a crossover with Harry Potter. Still, I got to say, this plan looks a lot better than the previous four, so that's good.
Hope you enjoy,

Plan 05
The Plan
Sly's POV
Le Paradox might be thinking that I was bluffing when I reassured Carmelita – his captive and my true love – that my fight with the filthy thieving skunk over her safety and the Cooper Canes wasn't over, but I'm not the son of Conner Cooper, legendary Master Thief, without reason.
When I had glided past Le Paradox's blimp, I had seen a set of papers lying near an open window. Remembering Bentley's words about what those forged papers could do to our future, I had quickly but silently glided over and grabbed the top paper with Le Paradox's first name on it.
Now Le Paradox has taken the Ancestral Canes and Carmelita back to Present Day Paris, I feel happier than ever that I have my father's quick hands and that I always follow with what my father always used to say: "If you don't have a Plan B, then you don't have a plan at all."
Bentley and Murray look into the open sky, visible thanks to the opened roof, with devastation and Bentley says: "No! It's all over!" To which I retort: "Yeah, for him." My team looks at me and I happily show them the paper, pulling it from under my shirt where I had hidden it after taking it.
The turtle and hippo look at the paper shocked and Bentley asks: "When did you get that?""While gliding down. Le Paradox had it lying next to an open window." This makes the turtle – who is also my best friend and the brain of my team – look at the paper suspiciously and he says:
"Give it here, Sly." I nod and hand him the paper, knowing he wants to check to see if Le Paradox hadn't tricked me with a false paper trap, before I turn and look at Salim, who is dragging Miss Decibel over and say: "Salim, we need your help. We need to get the canes and Carmelita back."
The raccoon drops the trunk he's holding onto and nods at me as Bentley laughs and says: "It's the real one! The paper Le Paradox had that pachyderm forge for him! This is even the one he needs to prove he indeed has a royal heritage to the world! Now we can go and free Carmelita!"
I nod and say: "Let's go get the other ancestors. I have a plan." My friends nod at me and when all four of us are back in the van, do I ask: "Bentley, how many items can your Time Machine hold?" Bentley smiles, showing he already knows why I'm asking and he happily and proudly answers:
"Four. Exactly enough to transport us to Riochi, Tennessee, Bob and Galleth's time periods!" I smile at the brilliance of my turtle friend and say: "Perfect." Before I start putting the dagger, the badge, the necklace and the crown in the Time Period Container – as Bentley calls it.
Bentley then starts typing on his computer, while Murray starts the van's engine and while he keeps his foot on the brake, does the hippo start gathering speed. I take my seat on the front's passenger's seat and Bentley says: "We're ready. Whenever you want to hit it, Murray."
Murray nods and takes his foot off the brake, together with pushing the accelerator all the further down, causing for the van to be shot forward with such speed that we instantly burst into a Time Tunnel. We fly through it, my lips thin with determination and quickly arrive in Feudal Japan.
Murray parks the van behind the Sushi Restaurant and when Salim sees this, he asks: "Are we really going to eat before saving Carmelita?" I shake my head and while taking the dagger out of the container, do I say: "Riochi Cooper was a Ninja and a Sushi chef. He's the owner."
My ancestor nods and we hurry inside, where we find Riochi working on the lights attached to the trim of a wooden fish sign. The ninja sees us and asks: "Ah, have you come to return my cane?" I shake my head, knowing it saddens and disappoints the ninja and say:
"Four other Canes have been stolen, Riochi, and now Carmelita has been kidnapped as well. We need the Ancestors united to save her." The Ninja nods and jumps down from the roof of the stand. He then bows to us and we quickly return to the Van, jumping back into another Time Tunnel.
What happens after this?
Sly takes the other Ancestors to present day Paris, gathers the rest of his gang and rescues Carmelita before, on the following day, allowing her the chance to experience a day in the full Cooper Gang. After that he gives her the chance to make a decision on where they go from there, but after that, I draw a blank. Still, I liked this plan and hoped you did as well.
Let me know,
