This is a Sly Cooper Fanfiction of how the fourth game SHOULD have gone; in my opinion at least.

"Okay, Everyone;" said Bentley, "It's time to take Rioichi's sushi shop back, and in the process, set ourselves up for an assault on El Jefe's stronghold." Bentley was giving the gang one of his elaborate slideshow presentations. While most of the gang was listening, Sly was still trying to get his head round the fact that Neyla was his half-sister. He looked over at Neyla, who was trying not to look back at him. "First of all…" continued Bentley, "We need to get inside the shop, retrieve Rioichi's cane, and open it back up for business. The Panda King will use the samurai armor to relieve the guards of duty, and let Rioichi back into his shop. Once inside, it'll be up to Rioichi to do the unlocking."
"Of course, Bentley-San;" said Rioichi, "It is my duty as a master chef."
"Second…" said Bentley, "We're going to need some fresh fish in order to make some good sushi. Dimitri and I will venture into the caves on the western side of town in order to reach the fishing pool and catch some delicious fish."
"Sounds good to me, Turtle bro!" said Dimitri.
"And third…" said Bentley, "El Jefe only comes out of his lair to uh… 'visit' with Madame Geisha, who has recently left town for a vacation. So, Murray will need to pose as Madam Geisha to coax El Jefe out. While he's on his way to the geisha house, Penelope will shadow him with her RC car, listening for anything that might be useful. Once El Jefe reaches the geisha house, it'll be up to Sly to pickpocket the plans for the operation off of him."
"Sounds like fun!" said Murray, "I love to dance!"
"I'm not sure breakdancing was a thing in Feudal Japan." said Penelope.
"Okay, everyone;" said Bentley, "We've all got our assignments, so if we're all ready…"
"Just a moment, Bentley…" said Sly, "I'd like to… have a word with Neyla before we go."
"Okay, Sly;" said Bentley, "But don't drag it out too long." Sly turned to the purple tigress and said,
"Neyla, do you think you can bring yourself to… have a talk with me?" Neyla lifted her head and said,
"I… I guess so, Sly." Sly got up and led Neyla to the far corner of the cave.
"Look, Neyla," said Sly, "You don't have to beat yourself up over this. I didn't even know any of this until now."
"Maybe not;" said Neyla, "But I still feel terrible. I wish I had known that my mum did what she did so that your father could be safe." She sniffed before saying, "I also wish I'd known that your… I mean our father wanted to make sure I was well taken care of."
"Yeah…" said Sly, "It probably would have been easier if he'd adopted you into our family."
"He was probably worried that it would make your mum go mad;" said Neyla.
"Yeah…" said Sly, "Then it would have hit the fan."
"What's really bothering me is… I've spent all this time angry at the wrong people;" said Neyla, "And you and your friends… even Carmelita, all suffered so much because of me."
"It was just a touch of the red mist;" said Sly, "It happens to the best of us sometimes."
"I don't know…" said Neyla, "I feel… just terrible, and I want to try and make it right somehow."
"Why don't you spend some time with the Guru?" said Sly, "He helped Murray through a pretty difficult time."
"Yeah…" said Neyla, "He seems to have a way with words and such."
"Good;" said Sly, "In the meantime, we're going to get things in motion to take down El Jefe and restore Rioichi's reputation. We'll… talk some more when we get back?"
"Sure…" said Neyla, "Um… see you later, I guess."
"Yeah;" said Sly, "See you later."
"Okay then;" said Bentley, "Like I was saying, if we're all ready… let's move out!
Out in the village, El Jefe was visiting the guards outside Rioichi's sushi restaurant. Or rather, he was just visiting to yell at them.
"Listen up you idiots!" barked El Jefe, "I don't want my plans ruined because some imbeciles allowed that stupid Cooper to escape!"
"Uh… no worries, Boss;" said the first boar guard, "We won't let no one in here."
"Yeah," said the second boar guard, "No one."
"You'd better not!" said El Jefe, "We've gone to a lot of trouble, and I stand to lose a lot of money if the boss finds out we've let Cooper out of our sight. Now both of you stand here until the relief shift comes along! I wouldn't want to have to make you both into tomorrow night's dinner!" With that, he stormed away. The boar guards looked at each other, nervously, but then resumed their posts. However, it wasn't long before a large panda bear in armor strode up to the door and shouted,
"Attention!" The boars saluted. "You are both relieved of duty for now!"
"Uh… Okay…" said the first boar guard, "Say… when did the boss hire you?"
"I have been serving El Jefe since yesterday;" said the panda, "I didn't get the chance to meet you then."
"Duh… okay;" said the second boar guard, "So… we can go eat now?"
"Of course;" said the panda, "I shall cover the next shift."
"Hey, thanks;" said the first boar, before he and his partner left the door. The panda took up the post, waited a few minutes, then tapped his samurai shield to the ground three times. Rioichi Cooper climbed out of a barrel he had been hiding in, and approached the door.
"Arigato, Panda-san;" said Rioichi, "Thank you for helping me take back my restaurant."
"The pleasure is mine, Rioichi," said the Panda King, "Please be aware that it may not be long before the next guards come along."
"Then I shall be swift as the divine winds;" said Rioichi. The Panda King used his shield to boost Rioichi up to the window above the door, and the raccoon slipped inside. Once inside, Rioichi reached under the doormat, and pulled out his cane. "I was right to hide this when these invaders took our village;" he said, "Clearly it is I they are most interested in."
"Rioichi…" came a voice from the binocucom, "Come in… are you there…?"
"Yes, Sly;" said Rioichi, "I am here."
"Good;" said Sly, "Listen, I just want to warn you about those searchlights and lasers. They can really do a number on you of you get caught in them."
"Fear not, Sly;" said Rioichi, "Though the night may be cold, the sun's warmth always remains."
"Um… yeah…" said Sly, "Good luck then." Rioichi knew that in order to unlock all the areas of his sushi shop, he would need his sushi knives as the keys. Knowing where the first one was, he leapt up onto a stick of bamboo that was growing out of the indoor garden, then focused on another one across the room. With incredible skill, he leapt halfway across the room and landed safely. After several long spire jumps, he reached the decorative flag near the top of the room. Reaching underneath it, he retrieved his carving knife. After sliding down the pole, he unlocked the door and headed into the main dining hall.
"Hmmm…" said Rioichi as he noticed all the nasty red beams on the floor, "This provides an interesting challenge." Thankfully, the framework surrounding the tables and chairs provided suitable walking and jumping points. Soon, he reached the post in the center of the room, and tapped on it. A secret compartment opened, revealing his fillet knife. "No finer knife can be used to make Sushi;" said Rioichi, "Now, all that is left is to enter the kitchen and reactivate my restaurant's sign." Being sure to dodge the lasers, he made his way to the kitchen door, and opened it. Unfortunately, the kitchen had searchlights all over the place, and a guard patrolling it! Frustrated, Rioichi split his cane into two halves and used it to climb the wall to the rafters. Once there, he noticed that the beams were too narrow to walk on. Not knowing what to do, he whispered, "Sly… Sly… please answer me…"
"What's up, Rioichi?" asked Sly.
"I am at a loss;" said Rioichi, "The rafters are too narrow for me to walk on. How would you suggest I proceed?"
"Well…" said Sly, "There seem to be plenty of rings hanging from the ceiling. You could use your cane to swing from ring to ring in order to reach the back."
"Thank you, Sly;" said Rioichi, "You are wise beyond your years."
"Really…?" asked Sly, "Can I get that in writing?" Knowing he was wasting time, Rioichi leapt off the rafter and hooked onto one of the rings with his twin canes. He swung himself to the next three rings, and was soon at the back of the room. He carefully edged his way over to the other side, and leapt down behind the guard. Sure enough, his cleaver was strapped to the guard's back. Rioichi lifted his twin canes, and chopped the guard on the neck! The guard dropped to the ground, unconscious, and Rioichi retrieved his cleaver.
"Hmmm… I am not sure why I even bought this one;" said Rioichi, "It is rather unsuitable for a ninja. Nonetheless, I shall not reactivate my sign, and send a message to that foul El Jefe." Using his cleaver, he unlocked the door leading to the boiler room. Once inside, he lit the fire under the boiler, and waited as the steam pressure built up. Finally, the steam was hot enough to power up the sign. Rioichi opened the steam valve and watched the steam shoot up the pipes.
Outside, the Panda King was getting a little nervous, when he saw a pair of guards coming. Knowing he couldn't keep up his charade, he willingly stood down as they took the post. As he slipped around to the back, he saw the sign on top of the building begin to glow. The Panda King smiled as the boar guards panicked and ran off; it must have been a nasty shock to them. In a matter of minutes, Rioichi exited the shop and met up with the Panda King.
"Well done, Rioichi!" said the Panda King, "Your shop is re-opened for business!"
"Yes indeed, Panda-san;" said Rioichi, "But I am still missing the key ingredients in order to make good sushi."
"Fear not;" said the Panda King, "If Bentley and Dimitri are true to their word, you shall soon have the freshest fish in all of Japan."
Meanwhile, over by the caves, Bentley and Dimitri were approaching a giant door.
"Hmmm…" said Bentley, "It appears that El Jefe and his goons have been here, and don't want us to get the good fish."
"Those dudes really crack up my skin…" groaned Dimitri.
"Not to worry;" said Bentley, "There's a computer terminal right by the entrance. If I can hack it, then we can stroll right in."
"Can you crack this coconut?" asked Dimitri.
"No sweat!" said Bentley. He rolled up to the terminal and began his hack attack. In a matter of minutes, he was in, and the door opened. "Success!" he said, "Now, Dimitri, I'm going to need you for two parts of this operation."
"What can Dimitri do for you, Turtle bro?" asked Dimitri.
"First," said Bentley, "I'll need you to pull that cart in and out of the caves so we can carry out the fish. Second, the fish in these caves are very big, and very tasty, but also very fast. So, I'll need you to jump in and shoot them with your spear gun in order to catch them."
"You got it, Turtle bro!" said Dimitri, "But, eh… what if El Jefe's bad dudes come in here?"
"I'll take care of them;" said Bentley, "If they snoop around while we're trying to fish, I'll keep them distracted with my grapple camera."
"Sounds good to me;" said Dimitri, "Let's go fishing!" With that, Bentley and Dimitri entered the cave and started following the path.
"Boy…" said Bentley, "I remember the last time I went fishing with Sly and Murray; we were just kids at the time."
"Bet you didn't have a spear gun to work with;" said Dimitri, "Just cheap old poles and lines."
"Yeah…" said Bentley, "But they did the job well enough."
"Sure…" said Dimitri, then he said, "Look, Turtle bro, when are you gonna pop up the question to Penelope?"
"What…?" asked Bentley, "Oh, uh… that. Well… it's crossed my mind a few times, but I'm not sure I'm ready for it. I mean… we've only been together a year and a bit."
"You'd be wise not to wait, Turtle bro;" said Dimitri, "This a very dangerous line of work, you know. You could die… and you and she would be in separate worlds; with things left unsaid."
"Did you have to mention dying?" asked Bentley. Dimitri didn't say anything else. Eventually, the two of them reached a pool at the end of the tunnel. "This is it;" said Bentley, "This is Rioichi's best fishing spot."
"Dimitri is ready to dive, bro;" said Dimitri, putting down the cart and lowering his mask, "All I am asking is that you keep the goon off our scent."
"Don't worry about that, Dimitri," said Bentley, "I'll keep them plenty busy." Dimitri placed in his regulator, jumped into the pool and started swimming for the underwater tunnel. Once he was out of sight, Bentley deployed his grapple camera, and guided it to one of the intersections in the tunnel. Then, he turned his eyes to the screen to watch for guards. "Is Dimitri right…?" Bentley asked himself, "Am I just dragging things out too long with Penelope?" Bentley thought back to the moment he had first met Penelope face to face. It had been a little awkward since she was not the fashion model that her profile page had indicated she was. But to be fair, he wasn't exactly the bodybuilder that he had told her he was. After that minor stumble, the two of them had bonded over their intellectual prowess. Finally, they had become an item after the Cooper Vault job just a year ago. Bentley couldn't deny that he loved Penelope, and would do anything for her. Suddenly, he noticed a guard passing by the intersection. Knowing he had to distract him, Bentley shouted, "Hey! Pay attention to me!" into his microphone. Sure enough, the guard heard the noise and followed it down the wrong path. Bentley maneuvered the grapple cam deeper into the tunnel, and said, "I'm yelling at you!" Furious, the guard started charging deeper into the dark. "He'll be lost for hours in these caves;" said Bentley, "I think I can bring the camera back to the intersection now."
Under the water, Dimitri was having no trouble collecting the fish. They might have been fast, but he was a sure shot with his spear gun. Soon, he had enough fish to fill a whole basket. With the fish in hand, he swam back to the surface, and said,
"Psst…! Turtle bro…!" Bentley looked over to see him.
"Dimitri, you're back." he said, "Have you got the fish?"
"Loads of them, Turtle bro;" said Dimitri, "Rioichi will be able to make enough sushi to satisfy a whole dinner party with this."
"Excellent!" said Bentley, "Now, we just need to bring the fish back to the sushi shop, and Rioichi will be back in business."
"That is all well and good," said Dimitri as he climbed out and loaded the fish into the cart, "But what are we going to be doing about that sleazebag El Jefe?"
"That part's up to Sly, Murray, and Penelope;" said Bentley as he and Dimitri made for the exit, "I just hope things go as smoothly for them as they've gone for us."
In the meantime, Sly was getting in position above the geisha house.
"Murray…" said Sly, "You in position?"
"Check!" said Murray, "The Murray is always in position for some action!"
"That's great, Big Guy;" said Sly, "Penelope, how about you?"
"Affirmative;" said Penelope, "I'm in position to launch my RC car and trail El Jefe."
"Good;" said Sly, "He should be leaving his castle right about now; that gives us roughly twelve minutes to break in and get Murray into costume. Good luck on your end, Penelope." With that, he unlocked the skylight and climbed down to one of the balconies. "I sure hope Carmelita never finds out I went in here…" said Sly, "I know what goes on in these places." Knowing he was on the clock, Sly set about navigating the traps and security features to find Madame Geisha's costume for Murray.
Over on her end, Penelope had launched her RC car and retreated to an elevated position from where she could keep an eye on her car at all times. Soon, El Jefe came out of his fortress entrance, and began walking through town. Penelope gently moved the control sticks and drove the car behind the tiger.
"It's a good thing Murray lent me his old chicken hat for a disguise…" she said, "El Jefe would know something was up if I just drove around in plain sight." Soon, she began to hear El Jefe's voice.
"That blasted Rioichi Cooper!" he grumbled, "I should have known better than to underestimate one of the greatest thieves in history. But then again, I will be completely safe in my statue fortress. Even the great Rioichi will never discover that the switch to open the palace gates is located under the bridge."
"Oh won't he…?" Penelope asked herself, "I think you'll be surprised, El Jefe." It wasn't too much longer before El Jefe started talking again.
"My statue fortress will be impenetrable!" he boasted, "As long as the guards are at their posts, none of these primitive fools will ever be able to breach the defenses. And then, of course, there are the dragon heads that contain the switches to activate the bridge."
"Heh-heh…" chuckled Penelope, "Keep yapping, Mister Sucker…!" It was then that El Jefe said,
"I smell a rat around here… There is no way that Rioichi could have gotten out of that prison on his own. The Cooper Gang better not be in on this; they're the only ones who could disrupt the plan. Now… I just need to find that raccoon, so I can give the package to the boss."
"Wait…" said Penelope, "He knows about us…? Hmm… this could be more serious than we thought. And what's this package he's talking about." Unfortunately, El Jefe was now arriving at the geisha house, so Penelope could do no more. "Sly!" she said, "El Jefe's at the geisha house! Please tell me you're ready!"
"Uh… yep;" said Sly, "We're ready, alright." He was looking at Murray, who was now dressed in a full costume.
"So how do I look, Sly?" asked Murray. Sly paused a moment, trying to find the right words.
"You look… great, Murray; just make sure to keep El Jefe and the guards distracted. If they see me in there, it's all over."
"No problem, Chum!" said Murray, "The Murray is a dancing machine!"
"I'm holding you to that claim;" said Sly, "I'll go get in position now. Knock 'em dead, Big Guy!" With that, Sly made his way through the rafters to the back of the geisha house, and just in time; El Jefe entered through the main door and sat in one of the fanciest seats. Sly watched from behind one of the potted plants, hoping that this crazy plan would work. Soon, the curtains were drawn back, and Murray daintily stepped out onto the stage.
"Why, hello, boys!" he said in a high-pitched voice, "Please allow me to entertain you." Murray began dancing in a smooth and sexy manner. Incredibly, his disguise was fooling everyone; even El Jefe himself. Murray swayed in time to the music, twitching his hips, and shaking his big booty. Sly could barely believe what he was seeing; but he still had work to do. When he was sure the guards were completely entranced by Murray's dance, he left his hiding spot and crept up behind El Jefe. At that moment, Murray did a shimmy with his fans, and the crowd went crazy. Sly took the opportunity to reach into El Jefe's back pocket with his cane, and snag the blueprints. With the prints in hand, Sly crept away and slipped out the back window. Murray, on the other hand, continued his routine for a bit longer, before waving his fans in an attractive manner, and slipping away behind the curtain. The guards whooped, hollered, and cheered. El Jefe simply smiled. That smile vanished, however, when he felt something missing in his back pocket.
"Maldita sea!" he shouted, "The blueprints have been stolen!" The guards panicked and began ransacking the geisha house in search of the thief. Unfortunately for them, Murray and Sly had already made their getaway.
It wasn't long before everyone met up back at the hideout. The first thing Sly did was go to check in on Neyla and the Guru. Rioichi went to inspect the fish that Bentley and Dimitri had caught, and Penelope met up with Bentley.
"So, Penelope;" he said, "Did you find anything out about El Jefe's operation?"
"Plenty;" said Penelope, "I've learned the weak points of the entrance to his statue fortress. There are two dragon heads around the entrance that contain the release switches for the bridge, and the switches to open the gates are under the bridge itself."
"Good;" said Bentley, "What about guards?"
"There's a few of them;" said Penelope, "But they're pretty fond of sushi, so that could be the best way to distract them."
"I can make them some sushi delicious enough to keep them occupied for several minutes;" said Rioichi, "Will this be sufficient, Bentley-san?"
"It might…" said Bentley, "But it also might not. If we're going to keep those guards out of our way for the operation, we'll need to put them out of action somehow."
"There is a cave on the southern side of the city;" said Rioichi, "Inside are plants that secrete a mild toxin that, if ingested, will cause the victim to pass out for several hours."
"That sounds like it could work;" said Penelope, "Sleep inducing sushi."
"Agreed;" said Bentley, "If you can acquire some samples of those plants, we can use them to lace the sushi and put the guards out of commission!"
"Then I shall go to the caves and procure a supply of the toxin;" said Rioichi, "Though the thought of tainting my sushi is repulsive, I realize that it must be done to restore my village to the peaceful place it once was."
"Oi!" said a voice. Everyone looked up to see Neyla. "I'm coming too;" the purple tigress announced.
"Um… okay…" said Bentley, "Are you sure?"
"Yes…" said Neyla, "I really want to help you, and I was wondering if this could be a chance for me to prove my goodwill."
"Give her a chance, Bentley;" said Sly, "The Guru says she's really changed from who she used to be." Bentley looked down at his legs, then back up at Neyla and said,
"Oh… alright. But if you try anything funny, you'll have to answer to me!"
"I understand;" said Neyla, "C'mon, Rioichi; we best be going."
"Yes…" said Rioichi, "Time is short; I can sense it." Once Rioichi and Neyla left the hideout, Bentley turned to Sly and said,
"Sly… are you just doing this because she's your sister?"
"No, Bentley;" said Sly, "I'm doing this because I honestly believe that she's trying to change."
"Neyla has shown true remorse;" said the Guru, "I feel we would be wise to place our trust in her."
"Well…" said Bentley, "If you say so, but… I'm still not so sure."
"Why not?" asked Penelope.
"Because…" said Bentley, "She's the reason that I'm in this wheelchair."
"Oh…" said Penelope, "Well… I understand your reluctance now."
"Yeah…" said Bentley, "But, who knows… she might just be the one we need to solve this mess."
"I guess only time will tell." said Sly.
Over in the southern caves, Rioichi and Neyla had crossed over the rope bridge and were attempting to enter, only to discover that they weren't alone.
"Watashi o karakatteru no?" cursed Rioichi, "There are guards everywhere!"
"These blighters are a paranoid bunch;" said Neyla, "Do you think they suspect our plan?"
"No…" said Rioichi, "It is in fact, a brilliant strategy. El Jefe has been alerted to our presence, so he is covering all possible angles. It will take a true ninja master to acquire two heavy doses of toxin from the plants in this cave."
"Then we better split up;" said Neyla, "The faster we get in and out of this place, the better."
"Agreed;" said Rioichi, "Let us go." Rioichi and Neyla went their separate ways, and began their ascent to the top of the caves. It didn't take long for Rioichi to collect his sample, but Neyla was having some difficulty.
"C'mon!" the purple tigress grunted as she struggled to climb up a ledge. She finally hoisted herself over, and rolled over, panting. "Guh…" she gasped, "Been out of practice for a bit too long, I would say." She finally reached one of the plants. It was hard to miss; spikes all over it, and open like a Venus flytrap. Gingerly, Neyla took the vial that she had been given, and held it under the open maw of the plant. The dark purple liquid slowly dripped into it, and when it was full, she drew back. "Glad that's over with;" she said, "Now to get back and… Oh no!" There was a commotion going on down below; the guards had spotted Rioichi and were firing arrows at him! Spotting a vine that led down below, Neyla pulled out her whip, slung it over the vine, and slid down like a zip-line. At the bottom, she released her whip and dropped, landing on a guard's head! With cat-like agility, she jumped off and used her whip to yank the guard's crossbow out of his hands. Then, she gave him a few hits with her whip, and he collapsed. Neyla was rather pleased with herself, until she realized she had caught the other guards' attention. Luckily, Rioichi saw what was going on, and dove down to help her, knocking out a few guards with his dive.
"Let us take these guards together!" he said.
"Too right!" said Neyla. Working together, Neyla and Rioichi fought their way back to the cave entrance. Once there, Neyla threw down one of her smoke bombs, masking the exit. At the same time, Rioichi used his cane to cut one side of the rope bridge as they ran across. Both reached the other side safely, but sure enough, when the stupid guards ran through the smoke, they all fell through the bridge and into the ravine below.
"Well done, Neyla;" said Rioichi, "Are you certain that in a past life, you were not a ninja?"
"I may have been;" said Neyla, with a smile, "But right now, I'm just a thief trying to make a name for herself; like my mum."
"Of course;" said Rioichi, "But remember, even the best of thieves are nothing if they do not have honor."
"I'll… remember that;" said Neyla, "Thank you." And the two of them headed back to the hideout.
"Hey, guys!" said Sly, "How'd it go?"
"We ran into a bit of trouble with some guards;" said Neyla, "But we got the toxin we needed,"
"Good job;" said Bentley, "Now, I just need a minute to put a plan together."
"Take your time, Pal;" said Sly. He turned to Rioichi and said, "Hey, Rioichi, I just want to say how amazing it is to meet one of my ancestors in person."
"It is truly an honor to see what will become of the Cooper line;" said Rioichi, "I could not be more proud to be your ancestor."
"Thanks;" said Sly, "That means a lot." Over with Bentley, Penelope was helping him set up the projector."
"Hey, Bentley…" she said, "There's something I think you should know."
"What's that?" asked Bentley.
"Well…" said Penelope, "When I was shadowing El Jefe, I heard him mention that the Cooper Gang better not be in on whatever it is he's doing. He seems to know that we're the only ones who can stop him."
"Huh…" said Bentley, "That is strange… He may have known that we might be coming. But one thing's for certain; we aren't the only ones with a time machine."
"But how could whoever's behind this have a time machine of their own?" asked Penelope, "It's not something you can just get from an electronics store."
"You're right;" said Bentley, "But we'll have to worry about that later. Right now, we've got a dictator to overthrow!" In another few minutes, the projector was all set up, and everyone was ready for the presentation. "Okay, everyone;" said Bentley, "El Jefe knows we're here, so it's in our best interests to strike before he has a chance to rally his forces."
"Agreed;" said Sly, "What's the plan, Bentley?"
"Well…" said Bentley, "The only way into El Jefe's fortress is through the main gate, so we'll need to open it. First, we'll leave a cartload of laced sushi for the guards to eat. Once they chow down, they'll be out for the count. Unfortunately, getting the gates open will be a big challenge. First, Penelope will use her RC chopper to get at the two switches that will deploy the bridge. Second, Rioichi will have to make his way under the bridge and up to the switch that will open the gate. Once the bridge is down and the gate is open, we'll storm the stronghold and do whatever it takes to take down El Jefe and restore peace to the village."
"I shall need some time to prepare the sushi." said Rioichi.
"That's fine;" said Bentley, "Come tomorrow morning, we'll make our move. Viva La Revolution!"
It's time to dethrone El Jefe and put him in some real stripes…!
Will the Cooper Gang prove themselves the real ninja masters…? Or will El Jefe have the last Sayonara…?
Answers incoming… in Chapter 4!
