Gamelover41592- I picked High Class Heist because of the lack of guards and The Fire Down Below was kinda picked at random. I had a lot of fun writing that though because of Duncan's reactions to the vault placements and some other things in those missions.

As promised, second half of the first world! Let's go

Once they had finished practicing and Duncan had finally cooled himself down, Sly and Duncan had used the treasure keys they had found to destroy the generator and crawl through the pipe in was powering.

"Okay, so how do we get up to Raleigh's blimp?" Sly asked.

"How about that cannon?" Duncan offered as he pointed to a cannon with seven locks on it.

"That could work," Bentley said. There are two more keys on this level of Raleigh's boat, I'll mark them on your maps," Once Bentley was done, Sly and Duncan headed for the closest one.

And instantly, Duncan was excited.

"Cool sub! Can I be the gunner?!" Duncan asked. Sly was unsure of that. Despite what Duncan had told them had happened at the fair, a submarine gun was much different from a carnival water gun. Still, Sly just didn't have the heart to say no.

"Fine, but if you get worried, we resurface, understood?" Sly asked. Duncan nodded.

"Let's just go," Duncan said as he entered the sub. There was one seat, so Duncan had to sit on Sly's lap. After getting strapped in, the sub went under.

Job 1: Treasure in the Depths

"You found it, guys! This is where Raleigh's gang of crabs stashes his sunken treasure!" Bentley told them once they had hit the bottom. "You guys need to blast the chests as they fall. If you break enough, you should be able to get the treasure key!"

"How many is enough?" Sly asked as Duncan began to blast some chests that fell along with the crabs that came for the chests.

"According to my calculations, you need to hit around forty. Oh and if one crab gets a chest, you need to restart," Bentley explained. Both Coopers groaned.

"So let me get this straight, we need to blast forty chests, we can't keep any of what's inside and if we miss one, we restart?!" Duncan asked, making sure he wasn't going nuts.

"That's right," Bentley said. Duncan and Sly both groaned, but kept moving and shooting. It took both a few seconds to get used to the physics, but once they did, it was no problem and they hit forty with ease. After doing so, they quickly resurfaced and Sly grabbed the key that had appeared. With that, the duo set off to find the next key.

Job 2: The Gunboat Graveyard

"Whoa," Was all Duncan could say. In front of him and Sly was an obstacle course of all the ships and planes Raleigh had sunk/destroyed with either his own ships or weather machine.

"Agreed," Sly said before the duo began their trek. They returned to the pattern they had used for the approach on the ship. Sly took care of all guards, while Duncan collected all the clues.

"Why do some of the guards have shurikens?" Duncan asked as he smashed a siren. "Wouldn't that be kinda out of place?"

"I guess the idea of starfish shurikens was too good to pass up here," Sly said as he took out another guard. After that, the duo climbed up some ropes to reach a plane hanging from some vines. There were a bunch of spotlights, along with an alarm which Duncan quickly smashed, taking care of the spotlights. They continued along the wings and crawled along a chain over a squid guard.

"Ahoy, dock hands! Capital job unloading that cargo last night. You're the crown jewel of my operation. Do me the service of proving your worth yet again by protecting the Treasure Key that I have stored down there. It appears there is a prowler on the premises. And if any of you let him get his hands on that key, I'LL PERSONALLY FLOG THE LOT OF YOU, FOR AN ENTIRE FORTNIGHT!" Raleigh ordered over the PA system.

"Anger issues much?" Duncan joked.

"True," Sly agreed as he took out the squid guard, allowing Duncan to get the clue bottles on the ledge the guard was on.

"Let's keep moving, this place is giving me the creeps," Duncan admitted as he followed Sly onto another chain. The next obstacle was a bunch of floating objects in the water with a bunch of spotlights. Sly took out the guards while Duncan made his way up to the alarm. He almost screamed when he saw a tentacle eyeball in the tube he was sneaking around to get the clue, but he managed to keep it in. He did snap a picture with it so he could ask Bentley what the heck it was…..and if he could have one.

"Duncan!" Sly called from a nearby wrecked ship. "Are you okay!?"

"Yeah! Hang on!" Duncan said as he climbed down and made his way over to the nearby ship. "Are we almost done?"

"Yep, the safe is right here," Sly said as Duncan collected the last few clue bottles.

"This one was cake. Input 7-1-9," Bentley explained. Sly did just that and pulled out the page of the Thievius Raccoonus.

"Oh, you're lucky! This page features Karin Coopergiwa's Coin Magnet technique. All she had to do was stand near money, and it would magically jump into her purse," Bentley explained. Duncan decided to try that out with some coins on the wreck. Sure enough, they jumped right into Duncan's backpack.

"That is awesome!" Duncan cheered as he made his way back to Sly, who had already claimed the treasure key.

"Let's head back to the cannon," Sly said.

After the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus and loot had been dropped off at the van, Duncan and Sly made their way back to the cannon. All seven keys unlocked the cannon.

"Um, were we sure this was a good idea?" Duncan asked.

"It was your idea," Sly pointed out.

"One, it seemed like a good idea at the time and two, since when does anyone listen to the seven year old!?" Duncan pointed out.

"Fair enough," Sly said as they climbed into the cannon. It fired them straight to Raleigh's blimp.

"Let's do that again!" Duncan cheered once they landed surprisingly smoothly.

"How about let's not?" Sly offered. Duncan pouted.

"Oh, well, what do we have here?" Raleigh said once he noticed them. "Unexpected guests. I HATE UNEXPECTED GUESTS!"

"Listen, Raleigh. Wipe out my family and steal what's mine, you better expect company," Sly said. Duncan could sense the rarely seen venom in his father's voice. It was kinda cool.

"Well then, what should I do? MAYBE I SHOULD BLOAT UP AND SQUASH YOU LIKE THE INSECTS YOU ARE!" Raleigh announced as he jumped down, inflated himself and started trying to crush the Coopers, who were quick to dodge. After four jumps, Raleigh burped, causing him to deflate. This gave Duncan and Sly a window to attack. This repeated two more times. Finally, Raleigh was done messing around. He landed on a much bigger platform and began spinning around, trying to hit Sly and Duncan with his tongue. There was just one small problem.

"Um, is he trying to hit me?" Duncan asked. He was so short, the tongue didn't even touch him!

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Raleigh said as he deflated, allowing Sly and Duncan to finish him off. With him knocked out, the duo headed up to a safe that held a special piece of the Thievius Raccoonus.

"Let's get out of here!" Murray yelled as Sly and Duncan jumped into the van. The gang sped off. Carmelita had shown up, clearly hoping to bag Sly. While she didn't catch him, the gang felt she wouldn't have minded getting Raleigh either. Still, the two happiest people that night were Duncan and Sly.

And the first area is done. I added the boss fight with Sir Raleigh to this chapter because I couldn't really make it interesting. Raleigh was kinda a lame villain. While, yes his area was cool and the boss fight was pretty fun, his backstory was LAME. Next time, we'll be off to Mesa City(think that's how it's spelled) to take on Muggshot!
