Bentley went down the corridor and came up to Carmelita, who had the figure pinned against the wall. But Bentley noticed something familiar about the figure.

"Wait!" he yelled."Carmelita, stop hurting him. That's Murray!"

"What?" Carmelita said. She looked at the magenta hippo. It was Sly's friend."Oh, I thought I recognized you before. Sorry."

"Thats okay, Carmelita." Murray said as Carmelita took the handcuffs of him. "People always mistake me for a criminal. Thanks for the jelly beans, though..."

"Jelly beans?"

"Yeah, you know...jelly beans." Murray replied.

"Let's forget about jelly beans and get going." Bentley said.

The trio walked through the halls of the strange building.

"Where are we going?" Murray whined.

"Don't know," Carmelita said.

"Come on! Tell me! I'm cool!" Murray screamed. Carmelita grabbed Murray by the throat.

"Listen hippo, I don't know where we're going," She began, tightening her grip on Murray's throat. "But we'll find out when we get there." She dropped Murray.

"For the record Carmelita, don't hurt Murray. Ever." Bentley wheezed ominously.

"Whatever," Carmelita said. They continued walking until they came upon 3 doors with hand-scanners by each.

"DNA scan," Bentley said, horrified. "Let's turn back."

"NO!" Murray screamed.

"We could at least try the doors." Carmelita said.

"You-you're right!" Bentley shouted. Bentley went up to the door and placed his hand on the scanner.He felt a pinch and, suprisingly, the doors unlocked. As he went in the door closed and locked again.

"Murray!" Bentley said to Murray through his binoc-u-com." You and Carmelita better put your hands on the scanner, if you want to get past that door."

"I'm on it Bentley!" Murray yelled as he placed his hand on the scanner.

"Wait, what did he say?" Carmelita asked.

"Just put your hand on the scanner, Carmelita. It's easy." Murray said as he put his hand on the scanner and walked through the door.

"Really?" Carmelita responded, sarcastically.

She put her hand on the scanner and contiued.

Sly and Raco left the lounge and started following each other down the bleak corridor.

"Alright, Raco." said Sly. "I deserve some answers and I want them now."

"You do? Well...whaddya wanna know?" Raco said, not even looking at Sly.

"How exactly do you 'live' here?"

"You know I just remembered something Sly..."

"What?"

"I used to work for the C.U.B. scouts,but I hit my head and forgot. Oh yeah, I also happen to be one of the C.U.B. Scouts' top agents. Shocking twist, isn't it?"

"No, not really."

"WHAT! Come on! It IS a shocking twist!"

"You know it really isn't, because, I didn't trust you from the beginning. I mean, what kind of ally lives in the enemy base? It was too predicable." Sly said. Raco walked up to him and grabbed a small hair of Sly. " Ah! Why did you do that! It hurt..."

"You stupid racoon. You'll see soon enough..." Raco said as he started to run away. He tripped halfway down the hallway and Sly could here him cursing. " I can't wait to take that jerk out..." Sly thought as he chased after Raco. Sly eventually caught up with him at an elevator.

"You can't run forever, Raco." Sly said as he pointed his cane at him.

"Sorry, Sly. But, I can!" Raco yelled as he kicked Sly in the shin. Sly cried out in pain as the elevator's doors closed.

"I better find Carmelita and the others, we need to finish this as a group." Sly thought as he walked around aimlessly.

Raco walked out of the elevator.He went into a lab as a hooded figure was waiting for him.

"Do have the demon racoon's fur!" she yelled.

"Jeez, you didn't have to yell. Just take it." Raco said as he handed her the fur.

"Excellent. This is just a glimmer of hope in the black pool of uncertanity that has been this day."

"Yeah well. Banclacks died,"

"As useless as he is as our founder, he is not dead. I can feel it. I already have the other clones created due to the 'scanner'. I have altered their DNA, so they will be much more deadly."

"Let's see 'em then."

A henchman in the corner crunched numbers into a computer and some doors of a nearby machine opened. As smoke crept out of the machine, a 6 legged turtle crawled out. It had 2 heads that rested on opposite sides of its shell, both of them resembled Bentley.

"First, I give you, Hurt-All the Turtle. It has the intelligence of the one known as 'Bentley' and the brute force of a scropion."

"Wow.." Raco said, not looking at the genetic freak.

The computer tech punched more numbers into the computer and the same thing happened as before. The door to the machine opened and a red hippo stepped out. It had three eyes and four noses, yet its face stilll slightly resembled Murray. It was wearing a t-shirt that read " I Hate Murray" and "Fury Hates Murray" on the back.

"Secondly. In his soul teems the anger and the rage that can never be tamed.With the DNA of Murray, I give you; Fury." the hooded figure announced as Fury let out a roar of anger and walked over to Hurt-All the Turtle.

The machine doors opened again and another clone stepped out. A fox walked out resembling Carmelita, that is, if Carmelita had legs for arms and legs for arms, used steroids and was seven feet tall.

"I give you, the beast of destruction, with Inspector Fox's DNA, I give, Harmelita."

Harmelita walked over to the other clones as Raco looked at them.

"Oh I get it, like 'harm' instead of 'Carm'. Who makes these names anyway?" Raco asked as the hooded figure glared at him." 'Cause they really suck."

"Silence, racoon. The next clone emerges. This one is last but certainly not least..." the hooded figure started as the machince doors opend and a racoon with a head eight feet wide at the least walked out.On its head, two arms petruded out. It also had four ears ad one big eye and one smaller one. It was was wearing a T-shirt with an "S" on it.

"I give you, my greatest creation to date, the one that shall kill the demon racoon. Behold, Slay Cooper, for that is what he will do, slay Cooper."

"Slay Cooper?" Raco asked, confused as Slay walked over to the other clones.

"Now go, my clones and defeat your doubles!"

The clones all yelled in recognition and waddled out of the lab.

Oh no, looks like Sly and his friends are doomed. Tune in next time for Chapter 8:Attack Of The Clones!
