A "Sly Cooper" Fan-Fiction
Chapter 3 – "Slytana's Birth"
By Dr. Thinker
-TR-
Bentley given me some empty paper that matches the type used in the "Thievus Racconus". My name is Tina Fox, a.k.a Slytana Cooper. Recently, I discovered that my father was Sly Cooper. I got this book from Bentley's safe in his computer room. My mom wanted me to have a secret identity like a comic book superhero. I decide to use Tina Fox has my normal identity—but Slytana Cooper is my thieving identity. I'm right now learning about much about the Cooper's family from the "Thievus Racconus".
We sended all of yesterday creating the outfit that Slytana is going to wear. We decide on bright red for the outfit. The outfit is similar to my dad miss his hat. Instead, I had blonde hair wig—having the wig will confuse witness. For Slytana's cane, I found took my father cane and painted in handle in a paint that matches Slytana's outfit. Tomorrow, I'm going to start training, he's going to start with non-animaliods guards—that's means laser beams and spot lights. I'm been reading up by Ancient Egyptian ancestor that had the power to turn invisible. I see if I can try it soon.

Tina in her blonde wig and red outfit of Slytana Cooper reappeared by the end of the course.
Bentley smiled as he stated, "Nice work, Tina. You holding the invisible power of Slycanumtin longer then Sly could. Sly could hold it for only 10 seconds—you can hold it for an half of minute."
Tina stated, "I was hope for sixty seconds."
"Well, let's move on. Let's go to some your familiar with-crawling around."
Tina joke-fully asked, "Like Spider-Man?
Bentley smiled and laugh, "Good one."
-TR-
I shocked Bentley today. I could hold my invisible longer then Sly can. Crawling was pretty decent—I got a handful of practice on that. Next, Bentley decided to train me the window sneak trick. The rest of the day was safe 101—number safes, letter safes, the old number dial, and combine safes. Possible hidden locations for codes: such as under a table, in a piece of art or written in invisible ink in a regular store-brought book. Tomorrow, it's Crane 101 as well as some moves that Sly used a lot on his adventure.

Bentley saw some crawling under his bed again—but instead of in the venting system—it was more under the bed. Bentley was surprised—thought he was dressed differently then usual. The raccoon was dressed in a dirty white-t shirt and shorts—but Bentley knew the raccoon—since his face was familiar-Sly Cooper.
Bentley shouted, "Long time no see, Sly."
Sly replied, "Same hear, Bentley"
Bentley stated, "So why are you? And how did you get here so fast?"
Another familiar voice stated, "Same as me, he wanted to see how Tina's training is going." Out of the light, stand Captain Carmelita Fox. She was dressed in a yellow T-shirt and yellow mini-short. "And for how he got here--my helicopter."
"Fantastic." Bentley replied. "She kept her invisible for thirty second."
"Oh, man." Sly stated. "She broken my record of ten seconds and she's not even on a field mission, yet!"
Captain Fox asked as she picked up a notebook, "What's this, Bentley?"
Bentley stated,"That was my notebook if and when I got a Cooper kid training. I just wrote the notes for today's training. Mostly it was easy stuff. I'm going to crane tricks for the morning and in the after noon, the tricks you learned on the path to defeat the Fiendish Five. So by the way, Carmelita, she's doing the secret identity you wanted her to do. She's using Tina Fox is her name when she's not doing anything thieving, but Slytana Cooper is her name when she is doing."
Sly asked, "Will you be doing the Laser Slide and the Laser Climb of my parents?"
Bentley stated, "Yes. I will be. Even know you only used the laser slide a bit in Vault—and you never done the Laser Climb. By the way, Tina has an idea for your section of the Cooper Vault."
Sly asked, "I wonder what that is?"
Bentley stated, "You have to ask her."
-T-
Though, he was dressed out of his normal clothing. Tina could see that her father, Mr. Fox was approaching her. Tina was right now in a decent one-piece orange swimsuit. She just got done with a bit of swimming and was about to head inside to change into clothing.
Tina stated, "Hi, dad. Sorry for smelling like I'm been in sewer pipe, but it will be a decade before the water stops smelling like a mad scientist's pet project. What bring you here to my neck of the woods?"
Sly replied, "I wanted to how Bentley is training in the art of thieving. You bet my record at keeping my invisible power on. Your mom is here as well—she's been checking Bentley's note on today's training. So Slytana Cooper—that name has a nice ring to it. I heard you had idea for my leg of the Cooper Vault."
Tina stated, "As you know, Sly. You face Clockwerk—and beat him twice—I was thinking about pieces metal in the shape of Clockwerk's wings. "
Sly winced at the metal owl's name, and then he said, "I just broke him into pieces the first time. Your mom destroyed his hate chip when Neyla took over his body."
Tina replied, "You at least keep him from do harming."
Carmelita stated, "She has a point there."
Sly replied, "I couldn't have done the first job, if you weren't there. We teamed up to take Clock-la down."
Tina replied, "If you want to do angst—do it out of my room, please."
Sly and Carmelita started to laugh. After the laugh died out, Sly stated, "Sorry, recalling Clockwerk makes me doubt myself sometime."
Tina stated, "No problem. I try to mention the bird name much—unless it's very important."
Tina heard Murray's voice yelled, "Sly and Carmelita, Get in here, now! I found something out while exploring Cooper Island."
-T-
Tina, Sly and Carmelita saw Murray, Bentley, and Penelope sitting around the title with a look of madness at a certain baboon-like animaliods. He was wearing a mad scientist lab jacket. Sly, Carmelita, Murray, and Bentley know this mad scientist has Dr. M, the ape doctor--the one that took over Cooper Island in hope of the getting his hands on the Cooper's force. But, he spoke in a different voice—like an owl that had nasty metal voice
The Dr. M robot stated, "Sly, I guess you can say the jig is up. I know the Cooper gang's money was dead from one of their biggest heist in FBI HQ in Washington, D.C. The same files you stole from Inspector Fox when you wanted to get payback on me for killing your father. Before I decided to kill our parents, I, Clockwerk, wanted to empty your Cooper Vault—easily. But I didn't know where to start my hunting---in the past, when I spotted your one of your ancestors--they usually get slips out of my claw for a few weeks. I saw them near the end of their life—usually in China or Japan. I wonder what's up, so I thought they might be heading to one of the islands in the South Pacific. So, I created a robot based on your dad's little muscle-head monkey-but give him the brains to put up the some great defenses---but Inspector Fox fried my robot's circuit—don't worry—this robot doesn't have a third hate chip. That was the reason, this Dr. M just stood there as the Cooper Vault want down. I wanted to steal your money and anything else in the vault—but looks I can't. This robot's on its last legs—and my robot brain—a.k.a. the hate chip was by destroyed by Inspector Fox. I HATE YOU COOPER!"
Finally, a few sparks come out—and finally the robot version of Dr. M runs out of energy. For a while, no one spoke—but then Tina spoke, "Well, that's was odd moment."
Sly stated, "My father used to said sometime when you a thief, the dime may flip—against you or for you. He wasn't big on grammar, but he was wise man I knew."
Murray stated, "If you asked me—looks like it's a flip for you, Sly. Clockwerk is finally out of the picture for good."
Bentley's eye stared at Murray for a while before Bentley said, "Good work, Murray. You come to logic conclusion—thought you didn't need a rocket scientist to figure that one out."
Tina stated, "Well, we just toss the left-over of this robot in your neck of the vault--near your picture."
Carmelita stated, "Finally, I got put the death of my raccoon police officer out of my mind."
Sly asked, "You had a raccoon teacher? Was her name Jennifer Squirrel by any chance?"
Carmelita replied, "Don't tell me is similar to me and you—it doesn't take a cop to know where you heading."
Sly replied, "Took the words right out of my mouth, honey—and beside you are a cop."
Carmelita stated, "You do have a point there, ringtail."
Tina said, "I get dress---and you can us the entire story."
Sly stated, "I need the 'Thievus Racconus' for help. My mom was mostly quiet as a mouse."
Tina asked, "Animaliod or plain animal?"
Sly laughed as he replied, "The plain animal."
-TR-
Well, today was an odd today for me. We learned the "Dr. M" that battled Sly in the Inner Sanctum of the Cooper Vault was a robot created by Clockwerk, a metal owl that has been a thorn in the Cooper family for years. Sly surprised everyone that Jessica Squirrel, Inspector Fox's cop teacher was his mom's maiden name-- turns out that Inspector Jessica Squirrel was a raccoon cop—she had different opinion on crime—if the person was stealing from a crook, she turns a blind eye. One time, it looked Jessica died in a fowl-up heist done to a crooked gang member. Thinking the gang got her teacher, Carmelita's opinion come well know since then-trying to arrest every crook in the world—one animaliods at a time. With a surprise remark from Sly, we learned that Slyster Cooper and Jessica Squirrel got hitched. Slyster Cooper, my grandpa, had written his adventure in his section of the "Thievus Racconus".
McSweety found out that Lord Sumazi, a nightmare crook and stolen some statues. Slyster, McSweety and Dr. M used their abilities to get inside the warehouse that was Sumazi's gang's headquarters. Jessica Squirrel had been recently been going undercover as crook to get the goods on Clockwerk, during Slyster's battle against Lord Sumazi, she was planning on getting the jewels for Slyster—but somehow Lord Sumazi found out that
Jessica was a cop. According to cop reports, they didn't found a body—but police assumed that she died—much to Carmelita's pain. Slyster found Jessica—and fell in love with her. Soon, Slyster found Jessica's real family was very distant but still part of the Cooper clan. Soon, Slyster and Jessica had my father—but it when my father was eight years—they meet their end at the hands of the Fiendish Five.
Any way, crane training went good—despite the early morning surprise. The afternoon covered my Japanese ancestor's "Ninja Spiral Jump", Tennessee Kid Cooper's "Rail Walk" & "Rail Slide", Slyster Cooper's "Laser Slide" and Jessica Cooper's "Laser Climb" and my dad's "Wall Climb" move. It's seem that only slide and climb on yellow laser beams that had the blue master thief aura. Red laser will cook me faster then a microwavable meal.
Slytana Cooper
-O-
Tina walked in the breakfast, "Any new is morning?"
Bentley stated, "It's a big one. The world had just figure out who in the heck is Mona Lisa is."
Carmelita replied, "Don't tell that smiling raccoon was a Cooper."
Sly stated, "She was."
Carmelita remarked, "I told you not to tell me. But how in heck in the name of Sherlock Homes did Leonardo DiVinci to paint her? I heard one of my ancestors was Italian cop hunting her down. "
Sly stated, "In fact, a crook faking Leonardo was about to have your ancestor, Niaco Alfoxa, arrest the real Leonardo. Mona Lisa Cooper got the fake Leonardo revealed. For saving Leonardo, he painted Mona's picture. Mona only left one sketch from Leonardo's notebook—the sketch to her painting."
Tina asked, "So what's on the plan for today?"
Sly stated, "I'm going to Cooper Vault again. Since it's been restored—I believe they been more things what I saw—and I wanted to study the Inner Sanctum a bit better.
-T-
Tina stated, "Nice work, grandpa." as landed by the door to the Inner Sanctum. She was dressed in her Slytana Cooper outfit. The door open—and inside was all the stuff that was their—but they was giant computer.
Sly was already at the computer. "This computer has many functions. One of which is a transporter. Carmelita, Penelope, Bentley and Murray down her."
Tina smiled, "Let's do it."
Soon, Carmelita, Penelope, Bentley and Murray were transported—and staring at the Cooper Computer. Soon, it sound liked it spoke, "Greetings, Cooper Gang."
Tina stated, "This computer can talk!"
The voice stated, "The reason for my talking can be if you can turn yourself around."
The entire group turned to see very small fully white raccoon. The raccoon was dressed in a black uniform. She was holding cane similar to the one that Tina was holding—though her handle was a black as a starless night sky.
The raccoon stated, "My name is Terka 'Techno' Cooper. I'm Slyster Cooper's sister and Sly Cooper's aunt."
Sly replied, "I didn't know any that survived the Fiendish Five attack on my home."
Terka stated, "I wasn't around the Cooper Mansion much. I'm been here working since the attack on the Cooper Home. When your parents were killed, I wanted to set-up your father's section—but Clockwerk's little nasty bunch left no fully intact pictures of your mom or dad. I found on a picture that had you in it—and used it to make his section of the Vault. Recently, I got tired out from trying to prevent a hacker from getting into the storing section."
Bentley stated, "I think that was my fault."
Terka replied, "Man. I know why it was so tough. I know about all of your elite hacking skills-Bentley could hack and steal all of William 'Big Money' Door's money."
Bentley stated, "I could-but Mr. Door's "Thief Net" has been a big help to us."
-TR-
Well, Sly and me got a great surprise today-after yesterday's good one. It turned out Terka "Techno" Cooper, was living underneath the Cooper Vault. She explained she had to she's been working to restore every Cooper's section. She talked a lot about her brother, Slyster Cooper. We didn't want to find her—we just wanted to explode the Cooper Vault. Sly got ahead of me during Tennessee Kid Cooper's next of the Cooper Vault. I fell off on of the one of the railroad tricks when I tried to jump to the next one. Unlike Sly Cooper, I can swim, so that wasn't too much of a problem for me. I got back to the wanted post of "Tennessee Kid Cooper" picture and tried my luck again. Today, I learned about "Thief Net" dark side. It turns out that "Thief Net" is automatic seller of crook tools—if you got the right about of stolen loot.
Slytana Cooper

Carmelita leaned against Bentley's kitchen wall as she took out a comb and stated to bush her tail. In a moment, Sly walked in. Sly was holding Tina's Slytana Cooper outfit in this hand.
Sly stated, "Tina is all tired out from the vault run. She's not going to doing any night actives for a while. "
Carmelita stated, "So what's up for tomorrow."
Bentley stated, "I'm going to give a random mission from the past."
Sly asked, "From my past?"
Bentley stated, "That is a secret."
-TR-
Today test for me was a few random missions from the past. The First test turned out to the stealing of Sly Cooper's own files from Inspector Fox's own safe and escaping her. Carmelita winced at her illusion's own voice when she heard her illusion telling me to stop it. Second was the entire trick against the Black Baron, Sly enjoyed me knocking Penelope's illusion into next week. Third test was one of first Clockwerk battle. The final test was Jin King and the treasure away from General Tsao. Bentley wanted to show me anything is possible. According to Sly, his dad stated this periodically: "When you life circles around stealing other people stuff, don't be surprise it turns on you now and then." My dad reminded me that master thieves only steal from other crooks. He only stole from police when either he need some information—such as the files on the Fiendish Five—or to get dangerous items out of their hands—such as the Clockwerk parts.
Carmelita explains with most of the cops retiring—they are two possible cops to get my Cooper's case. One of them is Inspector Anna Fang, Mr. Fang's daughter. Pros are that Anna Fang is usually trips up on her own tail periodically and she's not a fast runner like Carmelita was during my dad's time as a thief. Cons for Anna Fang are that she is good with the shock gun and she is usually so calm that nothing can shake her up. The other cop that might chase me is—Inspector John Keystone. Pros for him are John is a mountain lion that enjoys attention and he always forgets his shock gun time to time. Cons are John is a fast runner and he has a very short fuse—even shorter then my mom back when she was chasing my dad.
Slytana Cooper
-Author Notes-
Ok. Now, with her training complete, Tina is ready to be master thief. And of course, Slytana Cooper may have her work cut-out of for her.
