Emily P.O.V.
I've been searching for my older brother Harley Keener for weeks now. I have been going from temporary family to temporary family for a few days now. I couldn't stop thinking about my brother. I didn't know where he was. Last time I saw him, he ran into some strange van and it drove off really fast. I have heard recently that the Cooper Gang had recently stole some mechanical parts off of some art guru. I read the headlines. I was surprised to see a picture of my brother Harley Keener in the newspaper. I have heard through the grapevine that my brother has joined the Cooper Gang and they are located in India. I took a river to get from Egypt to India since I'm too young to board a plane by myself and I'm too young to drive a vehicle. I went to India. Once there, I searched high and low for Harley. He had to be somewhere around here. I eventually found the safehouse. I didn't know if it belonged to the Cooper Gang or not.
I should also mention that the cop who offered to help me find my brother a few weeks ago had like a ton of assignments he had to do for Interpol. So, I abandoned him. He didn't really take it too well...
Sly P.O.V.
Another Clockwerk part had surfaced in India, so the boys and I loaded up the van and zeroed in on our next target: a mysterious spice lord known as Rajan. A self-made man who grew up poor on the streets of Calcutta, he started his life of crime selling illegal spices in the black market, eventually growing his small outfit into a sizable operation and earning himself a seat in the prestigious Klaww Gang. He's since crowned himself "Lord of the Hills," and while he goes to great lengths to convince others of his royalty, it's mostly to convince himself. True to form, he's holding a lavish ball in his newly-purchased "ancestral palace." The reason? To show off his latest acquisition: the Clockwerk wings. The symbol of my enemy. If you saw the wings silhouetted against the night sky, it was already too late for you, especially if your name was Cooper. Rajan believes displaying the wings will bring him prestige, and maybe they will, but they're also bringing me.
Regular P.O.V.
Sly Cooper exited the safe house. He was tasked with photographing members of the Klaww Gang who were stealing the Clockwerk parts. They were located in Rajan's ballroom blitz.
"Sly, Scope out the palace, and then find a way to break into the ballroom. Let's find out who's at this party." Bentley said to Sly.
Sly spotted a group of sharp pointy rocks. Bentley explained to him that since the drawbridge that led to Rajan's palace was down, the only way to cross the river was for Sly to jump on large pointy rocks using this technique called the Ninja Spire Jump. Sly knew how to do the Ninja Spire Jump because one of his ancestors, Rioichi Cooper had done the Ninja Spire Jump before. The Ninja Spire Jump was a special move the Cooper Clan ancestors used to land on small sharp points with pinpoint accuracy. The raccoon used the Ninja Spire Jump to go over the rocks that lead across the river. Sly soon reached the job point.
"I figured out how to sneak in above the ballroom without being detected. The only problem is there's no way to climb up to that balcony door." Bentley said to Sly.
"Not a problem. There seem to be plenty of branches for me to walk on... I'll figure it out." Sly said to his friend upon noticing a bunch of tree branches. Sly jumped on the tree branches effortlessly. He soon reached the balcony that reached the upper portion of Rajan's palace. Upon arriving in the ballroom, Bentley said to Sly, "Easy does it, Sly. Just don't go out onto the balcony, and you should remain undetected."
Sly took out his binocucom and took some photos of all of the Klaww Gang members that were attending Rajan's party. The first photo that Sly took was of Rajan.
"That's him. Rajan's really pulled out all the stops to impress people with this party." Bentley said to Sly. The next photo that Sly took was one of the Clockwerk wings. The Clockwerk wings were attached atop of a large throne that Rajan sat in.
"Looks like the wings have been welded on to that statue." Bentley said. Then Sly took another picture of the other Clockwerk wing. "They look heavy. Getting the wings out of here will be a real challenge."
Then Sly noticed that there was an electronic winch that was hanging on the ceiling. He took a photo of the winch.
"An electronic winch. That could be useful." Bentley said.
After Sly took the first set of photos, Bentley suggested to him that he should take some photos of the guests who were attending Rajan's party. The first party guest that Sly took a picture of was Jean Bison.
"Jean Bison, a member of the Klaww Gang and Canadian shipping baron. He owns half the trains in Canada." Bentley said. Next, Sly took a picture of Arpeggio.
"Another Klaww Gang member. Arpeggio specializes in exotic technology."
Sly took a picture of the Contessa, Carmelita Fox and Neyla. Bentley made a comment about all three of them. After Sly was done taking pictures of the guests of Rajan's ballroom blitz, he headed back to the safehouse to come up with a plan of stealing back tje Clockwerk from the ballroom..

Bentley P.O.V.
Stealing the Clockwerk wings in the middle of a crowded ballroom is going to take some serious misdirection, and the squad of undercover cops only makes things more complicated. Although, we might be able to use them to our advantage. But no matter what we do in the ballroom, sooner or later, we'll need to deal with Rajan's security chopper. Murray can take it out with some of the local armaments, but he won't be able to get inside the palace until Sly lowers the drawbridge for him.
