Shadow Joestar- The only help they get is what they brought with them for the most part

Foxchick1- Beats me.

Matt- No she is not

Bloodyninja88- Don't worry, that twist will be going as well.

I forget if I mentioned this, but Carmelita is wearing her original outfit from games 1-3. I really hate the outfit in game four because it feels more like she was over-sexualized for...those fans. Okay, time for the penultimate chapter of the game! Let's go!

Mz. Ruby once again came through for the gang, giving them the next time period. Ancient Arabia. While Buck badly sang the entire Aladdin soundtrack while Hunter chased him around with a blunt object, Bentley discovered that the ancestor from that period, Salim al-Kupar, was a member of the 40 thieves. It seemed that they may have quite a bit of backup for once.

But if Duncan knew one thing, things never turn out easy.

As it turned out, most of the thieves had already retired and Salim himself was nowhere to be found. To make things worse, Le Paradox had already shown up. He also seemed to be aware that Penelope had gotten free, as the guards were going after any female mice they could find.

(If this was in game, it would be showing a clip of a guard waiting by a cheese stand, with a fearful Penelope and Duncan hiding in a nearby ally)

"Stupid freaking sand!" Duncan ranted as he dumped out his sneakers. Each one had a good sized pile of sand in them. "And stupid freaking Le Paradox,"

"Tell me about it," Penelope repiled. She had switched out of her prison uniform into a yellow jumpsuit(it's the outfit she wears in game). She had also been forced under "hideout" arrest due to Le Paradox's hunting for her. Naturally, she wasn't too pleased about that. Duncan sat next to his newfound aunt and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, I promise that we are getting through this," Duncan said. Penelope gave him a smile and put her hand on top of his.

"Where's this food you speak off?" A voice that wasn't Murray asked from another room. Duncan and Penelope peaked into the room to see that Sly had found a very old Salim, who was currently stuffing his face with any food he could find.

"Are sure you got the right guy?" Duncan asked.

As it turned out, they had gotten the right guy. Salim, once he was very much full, explained everything. He and three remaining thieves had discovered someone called Miss Decibel had just rolled into town one day and started throwing lots of money around. He and the last three thieves had decided to pull one final heist on Miss Decibel. However, being a time traveller, Miss Decibel had the tech to capture all three thieves with ease and Salim had been trying to come with a plan to rescue them. When Sly and Bentley explained what was going on, the whole thing made some strange kind of sense to him. But he still didn't fully trust the gang. Duncan rolled his eyes. They were going to have to prove themselves again.

As for Miss Decibel herself, life started pretty well. She was born into a wealthy British family and developed a taste for classical music. There was just one problem.

She was terrible at playing it.

That fact, plus an extremely bad temper that Duncan could safely call just as bad as his former Total Drama competitor Eva, if not worse, led to an accident that changed her life. A trumpet got stuck in her trunk. She could now hypnotise anyone who heard the music.

After Sly found out where Miss Decibel was keeping the three thieves(and found out that she and Le Paradox were in a relationship), Bentley put together another Chalk Talk.

"Okay everyone, we need to get those thieves free ASAP! If they finish those documents, Le Paradox will be untouchable in the modern time," Bentley began. The documents in question were used so that Le Paradox could forge a false royal identity for himself. "First, myself and Salim will need to free the 'The Panther' from the rug shop. Next, Duncan Maverick, and Murray will need to free 'The Tiger' from the taxi shop. Be warned, I don't have a good feeling about that place. Finally, Penelope will need to use the RC chopper to create a smokescreen so that Duncan, Salim and Sly can free 'The Lion'. With any luck, we can get them out before those documents are finished,"

Job 1: Copy Cats

"Okay, I know this is risky, but I have an idea," Duncan said to Murray and Maverick once they arrived at the location of the 'The Tiger'. They could see him from where they walked in, but he was being blocked by a large pit of spikes and the only way over, crawling along the wall, was booby trapped.

"Let's hear it," Murray said.

"You toss me over and then Maverick flies over to join me," Duncan said.

"You're gonna go splat a-against the w-w-wall!" Maverick pointed out.

"Oh relax, I've got my paraglider to slow me down," Duncan assured his friend. After Murray threw him, the next thing Duncan remembered was his face smashing into the wall. Even with the paraglider, he couldn't slow down in time

"Are you okay?!" Maverick called out to him.

"Yep! Just have a pounding headache," Duncan groaned.

"A and nose bloody!" Scruffy added. (And a bloody nose) Duncan felt the area under his nose and sure enough, there was blood.

"Lovely," Duncan groaned as he grabbed a nearby rag and ripped it in half, before shoving both pieces into his nose.

"And done!" Maverick said. The music that had been hypnotizing the 'The Tiger'.

"Ugh, my head," 'The Tiger' groaned.

"Tell me about it," Duncan replied.

Job Complete

"Not. One. Word," Duncan said, stopping Buck and Hunter right on the edge. Maverick had gone out to help plant a bug in Miss Decibel's office. When he turned up complaining about his headache and nose, Duncan was forced to admit what had happened to him and wasn't in the mood for jokes. Because of his injuries, he was forced to skip the mission to free "The Lion". Duncan sighed. He just hoped he was ready for when they had to fight Miss Decibel and Le Paradox.

"Okay everyone, here's the plan. Le Paradox is planning to head to the present with the documents in hand. We need to distract those guards. But I have no idea how," Bentley explained.

"I think we may have a solution for that," Penelope offered

"Which is?"

"Well, when everyone was busy, I snuck Penelope out and we….got a few belly dancing lessons," Carmelita sheepishly admitted.

"That's the plan, no ifs ands or buts," Sly announced. Behind him, Duncan rolled his eyes.

"O...kay," Bentley said. "With that taken care of, I'll use the RC car to lure the guards away from the control panel. With that, we should be able to stop both Miss Decibel and Le Paradox!" Bentley declared.

"Carmelita/Mom!" Duncan and Sly exclaimed.

"Penelope!" Bentley panicked. Everything seemed to be going to plan. Then a fail-safe activated. Then Miss Decibel showed up with an unconscious Salim. Then, after beating her, Le Paradox revealed he had Salim's cane and Carmelita and Penelope.

"Au revoir, Coopers!" Le Paradox taunted as he time jumped away. Duncan just broke down, gripping his father's shoulder.

For once, the Coopers had truly failed.

"Are you guys really giving up?" Duncan asked once had calmed himself down. One of the reasons he truly prefered his new life to his old one was the fact he always had a shoulder to cry on.

"Hey, you were the guy that started crying," Hunter snapped.

"I know, but we don't give up! We may be down, but we're sure as hell not out!" Duncan railed. Everyone realized he was right and jumped into the time machine to head home. No one knew what would be waiting for them, but they all knew one thing.

They were in for the fight of their lives.

I know this is a shorter one, but everything in this chapter was kinda forgettable. Miss Decibel was bland(but she had an awesome boss fight, I will give her that). Salim was okay and all the missions were mostly standard. Anyways next time, we finally take down Le Paradox!
