Gamelover41592- Couldn't have said it better myself
Foxchick1- Yep
Shadow Joestar- The twist with Dawn was one of things I was looking forward to writing the most
Matt(Guest)- No, think more along the lines of Total Drama villains. But yes, a few villains from Duncan will have allied themselves with this new bad guy. As for Noah….I can't spoil everything, now can I?
Bloodyninja88- Dawn will not be meeting back up with Gwen until the final story(I said Duncan and Dawn were the only two characters to be in different stories, but the same world). Also, what was this other set up you were thinking of?
Anyways, I said it last time, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time starts now!
"This is i-i-impossible!" Maverick cried. Duncan could barely believe it himself. But here it was!
The pages of the Thievius Raccoonus were disappearing!
"It may seem inconceivable, but this is very grim," Bentley said gravely.
"But I thought that history was set in stone?" Hunter asked.
"Well, clearly it isn't!" Buck said, causing Hunter to punch him in the shoulder.
"I'm with Hunter. The only way this could be possible is if someone had a time machine!" Duncan pointed out.
"That's why I'm worried. You were all wondering what Penelope and I were working on all those years? Well…." Bentley said as he pulled back the sheets over a covered object that he had brought with him.
"Is that a TIME MACHINE?!" Murray exclaimed.
"Well, parts of one. We'll need a few more things. Namely Murray's van and an object from the time period we want to travel to,"
"The van and I are ready!" Murray declared.
"Why an object from the time period?" Sly asked.
"Call it a design flaw," Bentley said. "Luckily, I have an idea for an object we could steal," He tossed a picture of what looked like a priceless samurai dagger to Duncan and Sly and everyone looked over their shoulders to see it.
"Isn't this from the museum?" Duncan asked.
"Yes, but I did a little digging and found out that the way that the owner hasn't exactly been using...legal means to get these objects," Bentley explained.
"Alright then, we had out tomorrow," Sly ordered.
"Um, shouldn't we tell mom?" Duncan asked. Carmelita had been away on a case for a few days now.
"No dice. We don't need anyone legal getting mixed up in this. But we are gonna need the extra backup…" Sly trailed and all four members of the Neo Cooper Gang caught the hint.
"We get to come with you!?" Maverick practically screamed.
"No way," Was all Hunter could say.
"If we find two dodo birds, let's make 'em kiss!" Buck said eagerly.
"Alright, everyone get ready!" Sly ordered, not noticing Duncan texting his mother exactly what was about to go down.
"Looks like I'm a little out of practice," Sly admitted as he snapped a pull he was trying to climb up. The heist had been going pretty well, but Sly was very clumsy. Before leaving, the gang had dropped the Thievius Raccoonus off with Muggshot and Mz. Ruby, trusting they could look after it. Mz. Ruby had also given them a way to contact them in order to learn what parts of the Thievius Raccoonus had gone missing.
"Too much rich people food and junk food and no real practice or exercise except in the hips can do that to a guy," Duncan joked as the duo moved for a detour. Murray, Buck and Hunter were trucking surfing over to their locations and Bentley and Maverick were off to somewhere else.
"You say something, Sly?" Bentley asked.
"No, all good here, Bentley!" Sly quickly said.
"Okay, looks like you're going to have to find another way up. Use that ledge to move around to the front of the museum, and stay out of that security light!" Bentley explained.
"I think I can handle that," Sly said as he and Duncan started across.
"I can't believe the security of this place. This better be worth it," Duncan groaned as he made his way across. They then found themselves at a skylight.
"It sure looks like someone spent a fortune on this place. I wonder what kind of surprises they have inside," Sly noted.
"Careful now, that's the skylight we want, but it's locked. My instruments are showing that guard has the key," Bentley said, placing a marker over the guard in question on the binocucom.
"Don't worry, uncle Bentley. This'll be a piece of cake!" Duncan replied cockily. Unlike his father, Duncan had been going out for heists quite a bit in the seven year time gap. Sure enough, they were quickly able to grab the key.
"Okay Bentley, we're in place. Let us know when you and Maverick shut down the security system," Sly said as they opened up the skylight.
"Roger that Sly," Bentley said as he and Maverick started to move through the sewers.
"This place is d-d-d-disgusting!" Maverick groaned. It wasn't very hard to move through. Bentley's bombs took care of most of the problems found down there and it wasn't too hard to get across the gaps, especially for Maverick.
"Agh! If I fall in that filthy water, I'm buying a new shell!" Bentley groaned as he and Maverick made their way across yet another gap.
"Hmm, a-according to the s-schematics, the c-control room is right u-underneath us. Some e-e-explosives s-s-should do the t-t-trick," Maverick noted. Bentley caught the hint, dropped the bombs and dodged the lasers as they fell. "That would have taken more then a f-f-few f-f-feathers o-o-off!"
"How's that security system going, Bentley?" Sly asked.
"Yeah, Maverick, are you guys finished?" Duncan added.
"Uh... great! Perfect! We'll be done in a jiffy!" Bentley lied.
"Right," Duncan said, not convinced at all.
"Next time, I'm giving them the sewer job," Bentley said to Maverick, who snickered.
"There's the t-t-terminal!" Maverick pointed out. Bentley got right to work and within a few minutes had finished.
"Okay Murray, you, Buck and Hunter are on!" Bentley ordered.
"'The Murray' is ALWAYS on, Bentley!" Murray exclaimed.
"So is 'The Buck'!" Buck declared as he raised his stun club to the air.
"It's only cool when he does it," Hunter deadpanned as he rolled his eyes. As if on cue, dozens of guards but they were quickly taken down.
"Make your way to the loading dock. You gotta take out all the guards before I can open the gate," Bentley ordered.
"Understood," Hunter said. More guards were waiting at the loading dock, but they were also all quickly knocked out.
"Let's take care of this!" Murray said as he lobbed a rat guard at the junction box.
"Okay guys, the security system is down. You're all clear!" Bentley said.
"Great! We're going in," Duncan said as he and Sly dropped down. Sly grabbed the dagger while Duncan placed both Cooper calling cards down. Then Carmelita burst in.
"What the-?" Sly started to say, only for Carmelita to stop him.
"Duncan ratted you out," Carmelita said.
"Mom! I told you NOT to snitch on me!" Duncan whined.
"Listen, I was going to catch you both anyways. I'm investigating this same place. So get out before the other cops see you," Carmelita explained. Duncan rushed out, but Sly stayed back and gave his wife a kiss before fleeing after his son.
"Good evening, this is the Coopers. We'd like to request a ride," Duncan joked once Sly had made it to the roof.
"Cute, Duncan. Now quit messing around and get down here. We're in the van and ready to roll!" Bentley ordered. Both Duncan and Sly jumped down and swung themselves inside.
"Let's hit it!" Sly said.
"Buckle up, boys!" Murray said before knocking several things over with the van. Finally, they found themselves cornered by the rat guards.
"Trapped we're!" Scruffy panicked. (We're trapped! What? You thought I forgot about him?)
"Relax," Bentley ordered. "Duncan, just put the dagger in the receptacle,"
"Okay?" Duncan said, confused at what was about to go down.
"Perfect. Isotopic decay calibrated... adjusting fusion synthesis... Anytime you like to punch it, Murray!" Bentley said.
"You got it, chum!" Murray said as he floored it.
"Do NOT slow down, Murray!" Bentley ordered.
"I never do!" Murray said as he sped up. Suddenly, a time vortex appeared before the van.
"WHOA!" Everyone exclaimed as the van plowed into the vortex.
And with that, we begin game number 4! I wanted to get this out because I won't be updating for a while. It's spring break at my school and I'm going on vacation! Anyways, the Neo Cooper Gang is coming along this time and no annoying Carmelita and Sly drama! When I eventually update this, we will be Feudal Japan and be meeting up with Rioichi Cooper! Oh and one last thing, only Duncan's jobs will be shown, but I will mention what Hunter, Maverick and Buck get up too.
