"SCREAMING ON TOP OF LUNGS"
Chapter 1: Prologue and Paris.
It was peaceful and quiet in Paris, France. The moon shined overhead alongside the stars, illuminating the city of Paris as the wind blew the tri colored flag of France.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure was running in the edge of the rooftops as it was flexibly running with a lot of balance on his feet. Showing off his flexibility as he leapt from the rooftops to the main one that he was going towards.
On his way there, he was illuminated, showing that he was a grey furred raccoon with black rings on his tail, while he wore a blue long sleeved shirt, with a blue beret hat, and matching shoes, while his pants looked to be grey like his fur, while having a red backpack over his belt. And he held a cane that happened to be like a crook staff with a golden hook that was shaped like a C or a ? at the head while the rest of it was brown colored, with a golden section on the bottom. Which he used to destroy a chimney on the way there.
Once he was on the roof of the building that he was looking for, he ended up looking at the sights with a smile on his face. He just loved the sights of Paris, France. Even though he's not French himself.
He suddenly felt the Bino-cu-com going off, with practiced ease he pulled it from his satchel and brought it to his face where the sight and sound of his brother were displayed.
He was a male turtle with green skin and black eyes which are covered by his glasses, showing that he could be nearsighted. He wore an indigo shell, a red bow tie, a short-sleeved dress shirt, a watch around his wrist, and a sweater-vest worn underneath his shell. He was a friend of Sly's.
"SLY! Come in! SLY! Do you read me?!" His friend yelled into the com.
"Yeah, I read you loud, and… a bit too loud." The Raccoon known as Sly said.
"Sorry, I'm just a bit nervous. After all, you're about to break into the Police Headquarters, and steal a file. So it's bound to be nerve wracking." He said.
"Don't worry Bentley, you're safe in the van. I'm the one doing the break in here. And I've got to take that File from Inspector Carmelita Fox." Sly said.
"Well count on me to be the eyes and ears buddy." The turtle known as Bentley said. "And I've got their security system totally scoped. To get in there, you need to get through that air vent." Bentley said, having Sly looking at the Air vent on the roof.
Then another character ended up joining in on the conversation, who happened to be a pink skinned hippo that wore a blue shirt. Who is a male. "And don't forget that you have me at the wheel Sly. Just take the file, then make your way to the getaway van. We'll do the rest." He spoke.
Sly ended up smiling at that. "Just keep the engine running Murray. I'll be down in no time." Sly then said to the other character named Murray, before cutting off the Bino-cu-com.
Then he made his way to the water tower. Where he saw some blue lights on the small section where he knew he has to shimmy. Which had him surprised, then had him calling Bentley on his Bino-cu-com again.
"Bentley! I must be seeing things. Must be a case of vertigo. Although I'm not afraid of heights. See those blue lights?" He asked.
"Interesting. I've read about this. Master Thieves, like the Coopers, are usually able to see some opportunities for thieving, which takes form as the blue auras like the ones you see. According to my research, if you're able to see those auras, that should mean that Master Thieves like yourself, should also see those opportunities for sneaking around, or hiding from danger. That should be very beneficial for your impending journey in the making, should you successfully gain that file. So try to always take those opportunities should you see them."
"I'm on it!" He said smiling.
Then he cut off the communications, put the bino-cu-com in his pouch, then he proceeded to shimmy himself around the water tower, until he was on the other end of it, where he was on a walkable section where he then saw some antennae on the roof. Which looked strong enough to hold up a light raccoon like himself as he hopped on them to the Vent.
Which he removed the cover off of with his cane, before going inside as he snuck through the surprisingly spacious vent until he reached the other end. Then he saw that there was a drop to the upper floor that had like a hundred yellow lasers inside of the chamber.
He wasn't worried though, as he proceeded to jump downwards to where there would be gaps that are large enough for him to drop through as he hopped on some metal balconies that he landed on, on the way to the bottom.
Where he smashed the siren with his cane, causing the lasers to disappear, and for the gate to the hall to open.
Which he proceeded to sneak on through until he got to the red door that Bentley explained, led to the office of the Police Inspector. Unfortunately, it was locked with no way to get in through it.
But Sly instantly saw a way around it and into the office, via an outdoor balcony, which connected to a shimmy section of the building, to the balcony of the room. Which he shimmied through, being able to get onto the balcony.
Which he used to enter the Office, before he then quickly saw the large vault that hid the file that he was looking for. Before he then proceeded to enter the code that Bentley ended up telling him. Once the code was entered, he proceeded to open it, grab the file on himself, then pocket it before putting an Icon in the file's place.
The Icon, that represented his Clan. Which looked like it was a raccoon's head that was blue on the upper part, while being white colored on the bottom part, and having pearly eyes with no pupils.
After some praise from Murray, he proceeded onto the fire escape where he saw that his getaway van was at the end of the Parking Lot. Much to his delight as he got onto the fire escape.
"CRIMINAL!" He heard someone saying. Causing him to look at where the call came from, and saw an orange furred female fox jumping onto the sign after appearing on the water tower on another building. She had cobalt blue curly hair in a style of a pony tail, while also having some bangs that was on her head, while having amber colored eyes, and a beauty mark under her left eye. She wore a blue zip up tank top that showed her bust and was under her tan long sleeved jacket, yellow gloves, a necklace that showed her police badge, and blue form fitting pants that hugged her figure, showing off the curves of her rear end. And she held what looked like a shock pistol.
"You foolish Raccoon! I've caught you red handed." She then said with a hint of flirtation.
Sly couldn't stop his smile from appearing when he saw her appearing in his vision. After all, he had a past with her, and he had admired her even from the first moment that they met. "Ah, Carmelita. I haven't seen you since that slip in Bombay." He said, remembering his little date with her there.
Carmelita made a small smile at that memory. "Which reminds me. You should take that Fire Ruby to its rightful owners."
"Aw, but I wanted to give it to you as a token of… say, that mini Bazooka brings out the color of your eyes. Very fetching." He said flirtatiously.
"You think?" She asked with a little blush. "This pistol packs a paralyzing punch. You should try it. It might snap you out of your little crime spree."
Sly continued to smirk. While he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the last part. "Look who's talking." He thought. "And end our little rendezvous?" He then said flirtatiously.
"Plenty of time for that once you're behind bars." She also said flirtatiously.
"Well I'd love to, but I just dropped by for this case file. I think you've had it long enough." He said.
At that, she ended up aiming her pistol at the Raccoon himself as he then ran down the Fire Escape, before pulling the trigger. Luckily for Sly, Carmelita 'continually missed' with the pistol, as it merely destroyed the fire escape that he was running down to the parking lot through. Not only that, but the electric bolt missiles that she shot out, was not really as fast as is expected from them as he was able to see them coming.
But what they lacked in speed, they made up for in power, as she destroyed the sections of the fire escape that he was running downwards through, until he reached the parking lot. Where he ran through the lot, and jumped over the other cars, towards the van that he knew was his gang's, because it was blue, and it had his Cooper Icon on it on the back doors.
Even though Carmelita's shots were getting closer to him, (He even felt his fur buzzing at the feeling of getting nearly zapped.) he kept on going through the parking lot with not a worry about her increasing accuracy, until he was able to get in the van. Which proceeded to drive away to safety through the city of Paris, France.
"I'll find you Cooper!" Carmelita called out as she raved on one of the roofs.
And yet, she was smiling for some reason.
"Once again, me and my gang gave Carmelita Fox the slip. I'm not so surprised to see how well she took it."
"Finally, I have the secret police file that I was looking for all these years. With this, I can avenge my family and recover my most sacred treasure."
"What is that sacred treasure you ask? Well have a seat. This story is a little long."
"You see, it all started when I was just a kid, bouncing on my father's knee. You see, I come from a long line of Master Thieves, who kept all their secrets of sneaking, and stealing, in an ancient book that was passed down throughout the generations."
"The Thievius Raccoonus."
"Anybody who reads from it, learned a lot on how to be a great thief, who is especially sneaky. Which is why we normally steal from criminals. After all, there is no honor, no challenge, and no fun in stealing from the average people. So if you rip off a master criminal, then you know, you're a Master Thief."
"However, on the night that I was to inherit the book, Five visitors suddenly appeared unannounced to our door. My parents fought to protect us, but the gang known as the Fiendish Five, overpowered them, and ransacked our home until they found… the Thievius Raccoonus. The manual of my family's line of thieving greatness has fallen into their filthy hands. Then they tore the book into several pieces and each piece was separated to each of the member's clutches, before they all vanished into the corners of the world to commit dastardly crimes."
"*Sniff* Sorry, now where was I? Oh, right."
"Broke and alone, I was dumped in a town orphanage where I met a few people that would become my lifelong friends and trusted crew members."
"Like Bentley, the techno genius, and strategist supreme, as well as Murray, part time driver, and part time boxer, making him the brawn of this group. Regardless of his supposed fear."
"Together, we would track down the Fiendish Five, avenge my parents, and steal back the pages of my Thievius Raccoonus. I knew that I would be facing the toughest challenge of my life as a Master Thief in the making. I would take this mission, which would decide by the end of it, whether I would become such a Thief like my ancestors and my family before me, or fail in my quest, and allow the family name to bite the dust."
Sly and the gang was now inside an abandoned train car in Paris' railroad track just outside the city. They were now scanning over the map that was on the wall on the search for the first member of the Fiendish Five, with the help of the file that Sly robbed from Carmelita's office. Which was going well, as they were seeing that the first member was somewhere in the Isles of Britannia, where the United Kingdom was.
And they were also seeing that the location was near Wales, a section of the UK in the central western section.
"According to my research, there's currently a storm that is raging on near Wales just close to those islands. That is why they call it the 'Dreaded Welsh Triangle.' That has to be where one of the members of the Fiendish Five, Sir Raleigh should be." Bentley said, putting the X on where the place where Raleigh should be. All while Sly also looked over the Map while Murray was sitting on a stool, eating peanuts.
"Then that's where I'm going to go first. After all, he may be a genius, but he should be a bit lacking in the physical department because of it. Kinda like you. No offense." Sly said.
"None taken." Bentley said, feeling only slightly annoyed at that comparison. "But know this, his genius skills should not be taken lightly."
"I understand. And I'll be sure to be careful with him if we meet." Sly said. "Just make sure that you'll be great at being my eyes and ears when it comes to infiltrating that place."
"No problem Sly." Bentley said.
"And I'll be sure to be of help just in case you'll find yourself needing some muscle." Murray said, still eating his peanuts.
"Thanks Murray. Just in case I'll need your strength, I'll call you in." He said.
Suddenly, Sly saw his friends getting shocked and frightened looks on their faces, before he then felt something pointed at the back of his head before he could ask. "I told you that I'll find you, Cooper." A familiar voice with a Spanish accent said.
Despite being startled, Sly ended up smiling again when he recognized the voice that was behind him. That voice being Carmelita Fox herself as she happened to have infiltrated the train car, and ended up catching Sly Cooper himself, along with his friends as she had her pistol to the back of his head. It seemed that they were compromised by her alone.
Or so it seemed.
"Nice to meet ya again, Carmelita. I trust that our acting was good?"
Carmelita ended up smiling. "Of course. They fell for our trick, Hook, Line, and Sinker. And they didn't hold it against me when I lost the file. So I still have my job as Inspector."
"That's good to hear. Carmelita Foxy." He said, making her blush at that nickname with a smile.
Sly proceeded to gently move her hand, holding the Shock Pistol aside, before giving her a kiss on her lips, which had her kissing back at him, turning into a make out session as Bentley and Murray were relieved. (Though still a little on edge, at least for the Former.)
"Oh, have I forgot to mention that I also met Carmelita in the same orphanage? And that she is another member of my gang?"
"Yes, you heard it right. She might be a cop as well as an Inspector too, but she's what I'd like to call, a Thief and Vigilante cop. She not only takes the law into her own hands, but she too shares in our Thieving and sneaking around."
"Just as long as it involves putting a criminal in his/her place too."
"She used to be just a cop, but One: We hit it off and she tagged with us even before the Bombay heist. That, and she became my girlfriend after Bombay's heist, to where we were on our way to being husband and wife. At least, after I beat the Fiendish Five. And Two: The cops from around the world also had their sides of corruption or incompetence among them, despite also having great heroic ones too. Not to mention, being unable to stop or even find some criminals on their list. Including the aforementioned Fiendish Five."
"She might still be a cop, but she isn't what she used to be, considering that she used to chase me until I was eventually able to convince her to see the benefits of thieving from my perspective, as well as having caught some corrupt French cops smuggling croissants out of a poor store, causing her to be added to my gang out of friendship for me."
"Not only that, but we're pretty similar in a way. She too lost her parents at a young age. And they were the only family that she had left that could've raised her. Now she was alone in that Orphanage until she met us, and we became friends since that day. Sure she was a bit of a pain, what with her short temper, (Which is understandable considering her parent's deaths.) being very fond of Cops while I was fond of thieves, which had us clashing in ideals back there, as well as being a bit of a tattletale when we get in trouble, but she and I got along well alongside Murray, later on."
"Now, she's with us. And she also acts as a Sniper with her pistol, a Cop that supports both sides of the fence, as well as a vigilante, and a partner for me when I go after the Fiendish Five. (Which is what I'm gonna do now.) And she also puts criminals behind bars after I'm done with them."
"All in all, my kind of partner to have by my side. Although Bentley might need more time with her. He still feels a little bit on edge considering her career as a cop, and his own as a fellow thief, like me and Murray. But I know he'll come around eventually."
Sly and Carmelita were now done with their kissing as they were now in each other's arms while looking at the spot where Raleigh's hideout was.
"Anyways… that is where Raleigh should be as we speak. So if we're ready, we should go to those islands near Wales, just to see if Raleigh is there with the Page that you're looking for." Bentley said, trying to get used to the sight of Sly and Carmelita making out in front of him and Murray. The latter of whom, looked on in indifference.
"Sounds good to me." Sly said. Before they all then planned on how to take down Raleigh.
"The roadtrip I took, gave me the time I needed to study up on Sir Raleigh the Frog."
"Born to a noble high class British family, as a young man, this hot-tempered frog grew bored of his life of luxury, as well as his privilege."
"On a whim, he found himself taking up a time of piracy, and found it to his liking. Finding it to be fun for him, he soon found himself becoming addicted to crime, and was eventually brought in to the Fiendish Five, as their chief machinist, and technician, where his evil tinkering genius rose to new heights."
"The last reported sighting of this mad machinist, was off the southern coast of the Isle of Wrath. A small island that is comfortably situated in the middle of the notorious Welsh Triangle."
The team was now in Wales' isles as they were now on the isles that they ferried their van onto, as they were now pulling up on the few tracts of land that Murray is able to drive on, that they knew would lead to Raleigh's hideout.
Sly's quest for his pages, was about to begin.
Sly and Carmelita in:
Tide of Terror
And done.
Sorry that this chapter is pretty short, but I feel that this is probably a decent enough introduction to my sixth Fanfic, which this time, is for a PS2 classic series. Which is Sly Cooper's debut game.
And yes, in this what if, Carmelita is another member of Sly's gang instead of chasing him around as he searches for, and fights the Fiendish Five in this game. And she's going to have an active role in this as Sly's partner in fighting against the Fiendish Five, and helping him take back the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus.
I'm completely sure that the 'Carmelita as a member of Sly's gang' was done before on this site. But I feel that nobody made a what if fanfic like this on this site. If there are any, then I apologize that I'm doing this too.
Edit: If any of you noticed that this was deleted and put back on the site, it's cause I deleted it and put it back on the site. I feel that the release for this chapter was being glitchy to me. Sorry if it was glitchy to you guys too.
Edit2: I just remembered something that I should've mentioned! I was requested to do this, by Romeo Jaramillo! So shout out to him for this idea.
Finally one more thing.
I hope that you enjoyed the chapter,
please give constructive criticism, just don't be rude,
And do not forget to read and review,
I hope that you're all safe,
and once again, I do not own Sly Cooper. Sly Cooper is owned by Sucker Punch, and Sony Entertainment. Please support the official release.
Theodore the Poet signing out.
