Sly 5: Thieves and Robbers

by EikaPrime

Sly is lost in time. Penelope is sending Bentley post cards. How are they connected? How does Penelope know when Sly is... and what else will they find by following those postcards? There are a lot of problems in history, and if that mouse is causing them, they have to get involved. 100% canon compliant. COMPLETE. I don't own Sly Cooper; Sucker Punch/Sanzaru does.

PREDATOR IN THE DUNES

INTERLUDE: KHAMEN'S TAIL

Bentley's Narration

We went back to the safe-house together. Khamen quickly made himself at home, downing an entire gallon of water before offering Carmelita a veil... and narrowly avoiding being smacked for the offer. Once he settled in, he told us what had been going on.

He wasn't too clear on whether he'd found Sly or Sly'd found him (picture of the two raccoons staring at each other), but the two of them got to work trying to figure out a way to send a message. They'd actually written several things in the Thievious Raccoonus before realizing that anything added wouldn't set off the various alarms I had set monitoring the book in our time—if it was added, it had always been there, not like when things were being removed. (Picture shows dozens of messages on several pages, including one asking the 'wizard' to find him, a sketch of Murray climbing a pyramid, and a reproduction of their childhood cooky-stealin plan.)

They were trying to work out another way when the river dried up, at about the same moment that tower appeared, three months ago, in an earthquake that split Khamen's hideout to pieces. (The screen shows the earthquake and appearance of the tower in a flashback). The two of them had split up, trying to deal with this 'rage from the future' and figure out how to stop it... only Khamen had gotten locked inside the crypt he'd been investigating. (Picture of Khamen in the crypt, clutching the bars of the cell in the back.) He could disable all the traps, but he couldn't get past the laser fences. And with his safe-house under guard, he can't get at all his tools.

Sly was last seen going to investigate the tower. While he wouldn't teach Khamen any of the moves from the Thievious Raccoonus that hadn't been invented yet, that didn't stop Sly from railwalking over there himself. (Picture of the tower looming in the distance).

None of us took this news well. (Picture of them all looking dejected). We all knew Sly could take care of himself, but this might be different. But at least now we knew he was alive, and he was here.

Now we just have to talk Carmelita out of going in guns blazing and work out a plan. (Shows Bentley and Murray blocking the exits as Carmelita threatens them with her shock pistol.)
