I don't own the number 3, either. OR The Amazical Raccoonus, Sly Cooper.
"Why are we here?" Murray moaned as the police van drove them to The Cub Scouts largest base in the abandonded city.
"Because YOU had to agree to join Carmelita!" Bentley yelled.
"I did?"
"What, are you serious? That was about two minutes ago!" Sly shouted.
"Why are we here?" Murray whined.
"We are going to C.U.B. Scouts base, which is only known as The Base Of No Return." Carmelita explained.
"Base of No Return, that's one original name.Wait, does that C.U.B. thing stand for something?" Sly asked.
"Yes, it does.Now stop asking questions, we're here. Keep your diguises on, and go inside. I'll go a different route."
"Well, at least tell us what you're going to do."Bentley said as he walked out of the police van.
"Don't worry turtle, it will all come into play later." Carmelita said as the van sped off into the streets.
"Wow." Murray said."She must be confident this will work."
"Yeah I know," Sly said, as he looked at the street."I love that about her."
"Me too."Bentley added.
"Whaddya say there Bentley?" Sly said, turning around.
"Uhhh...I said...I see you."Bentley said as he began to sweat.The three walked towards the C.U.B. Scouts compound.It looked like a prison only more colorful and it had a moat around it but instead of water there was acid.A drawbridge lowered in front of the Cooper Gang.
"It looks like they were expecting us." Sly said as they walked across.Instantly after they got inside three seperate trap doors opened under Sly, Bentley, and Murray.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" They all screamed as they fell into a dark room.
"Who is it?" A voice asked from above them.
"It's me." Murray blurted.
"No not you."the voice said."I can't have this happen again." Green gas started to come out of a nearby vent.
"Not...more...knock-out..gas..."Sly said as he fell flat on his face.Sly started to dream.He was in a closet.
"Great, another weird dream." Sly said to himself.He walked out of the closet.The room he was in was strangely familiar.
"When have I been here before..." Sly thought as he sat on a couch."Almost like it was..home?" Sly realized this was his home when he was a kid.He was in the living room.Sly father then walked in.
"Sly? What are you doing here?" he asked." It's WAY past your bedtime."
"What?"Sly exclaimed as he saw he was wearing footie pajamas."But I'm NOT TIRED!" he whined.
"Now go back to your room, it's Halloween,you know and I gotta give candy to the trick-or-treaters."Sly's father said as picked up a bowl of candy.Sly saw that the "candy" was actually bite-sized versions of the Theivius Racoonuses.
"I know where this is going." Sly thought as he grabbed all the bowl and started eating the tiny books.
"Sly! What are you doing? Now you'll never fall asleep!"Sly' father yelled."I better tell those trick-or-treaters why they won't be getting any candy."He walked to the door and opened it. Sly's father started to float into the air.
Sly quickly ran outside."Hey come back!" Sly yelled."Where are you going?"
"I told you,I'm going to buy some more candy at the grocery store." Sly's father yelled as he faded into the night sky.Sly slammed the door behind him as he walked back inside.He saw a cardboard box in the middle of his living room.
"When did he say anything about a grocery store?This can't get any weirder." Sly thought as he opened the box. Dimitri came out dressed in a panda suit.
"Hey honorable bro."he said."I didn't know greasy great theives like you could get caught like me."
"Did miss something?" Sly asked looking confused.
"These french-fried fools are keeping me locked up in da bomb-bad basement." Dimitri explained.
"Where is this "basement"?" Sly asked, looking even more confused.
"Are you a few hammers short of a tool-shed? It's in the ghetto-tight C.U.B. Scout place..." he faded away and Sly woke up finally in a prison cell. Sly's cane lay next to his bed."I wonder if Bentley or Murray or even Carmelita got caught too..." he thought as he picked up the cane.
"Looks like I'm gonna be here a while." Sly thought as he looked at the door.He walked up to the door and suprisingly, it opened.Bentley stepped inside the cell.
"Bentley?"
"Who do you think it is, Sly? I mean, really." Bentley said.
"Well, it could be Murray or something." Sly said. "Let's get out of here. This place is giving me the creeps."
"We still need to find Murray? Any idea on where he is?"
"The basement," Sly whispered hoarsly.The two stepped out of Sly's cell into a corridor and started walking.
"So Sly." Bentley began." Where is the basement anyway?"
"Well all Dimitri said was that it was here in the-"
"Dimitri?"
"Look Bentley, if I told you what happened you'd think that shock thing Carmelita put on me killed all my brain cells so let's just move on!"
"Shock thing?" Bentley said, looking at Sly."Oh you must mean that shock trigger on your hat."
"Huh?" Sly said as he felt around his hat.He ripped off a small black box that was about as big as his hand."Seriously Carmelita, try harder next time." Sly crushed the shock trigger under his shoe.
"Who were you talking to?" Bentley asked, looking at Sly.
"Shut up Bentley, let's go to that basement." Sly said as they contiued down the corridor. They walked for five more minutes until another trapdoor opened under them.Sly and Bentley landed in a dark room.They both stood up.
"Do they even have stairs in this freak house?" Sly asked as he looked around. He saw a staircase that was made up of jagged steps curving around until they just ended twelve feet into the air. "Uh, never mind."
"Quit horsing around! It's Murray!" Bentley screeched. The ran up to greet him, only to find that he was frozen and was attached to a wall.
"He's frozen!" Sly shouted. "Murray! Can you hear me!"
"Sly, he's frozen and attached to a wall. Of course he can't hear you. Geez!"
"Well, I was, just, checking... to make sure he could hear." Sly mumbled. "Let's try and move him."
Sly shoved Murray as hard as he could. Murray toppled over and shattered into a thousand pieces.
"Sly! Wha-what have you... you killed him!" Bentley sobbed.
"I-I didn't think he-he would fall." Sly said weakly.
"Hey guys! I'm over here by this food. It's really good!" Murray shouted from across the room. Sly and Bentley rushed to see him.
"Murray, I'm glad to see that Sly didn't kill you, but I don't think you should eat that food." Bentley said.
"It's good! Try some!" Murray said as he shoved some in Bentley's face.
"Uh, seriously Murray, you shouldn't be eating that." Sly said.
"Why?" Murray whined.
"Because it's part of that big food monster over there." Sly pointed at the monster. It was a massive creature that was constantly eating itself, yet never getting any smaller, just shifting.
"Oh... I knew that." Murray said. He took another bite of the creature.
