Well I didn't think I'd have to do this, but this is set after Thieves in time and blah, blah time space paradox all that. My friend helped me with the plot a bit so I don't stress out.
I do not own Sly Cooper, he belongs to Sucker Punch.
I do not own Ed, Edd n Eddy, they belong toCartoon Network.
Also I noticed that Clockwork's name is spelled with an e instead of an o for the 'work' part so, just letting you know its going to be Clockwerk from now on. Also I am so sorry for the long wait.
Chapter three: Paris, Eds (Part 1).
They soon began to dig into the Klaww Gang's main operators. They were shocked, no, stunned to find out that Johnny 2x4 was one of the main operators. Johnny was the local operator, and he was also owner of the Clockwerk tail feathers. He also owned a happening night club, where the music was loud and pumping. The Eds knew this was the cover of his local spice trading ring. The night club had a huge sign that looked like plank in the front. The sign also had the words, 'The Plank'.
"Can't we just ask him for the tail feathers?" Ed asked.
"After what the Cul-de-sac kids did to him after we became friends with them? He'd call the law enforcement on us." Double D proclaimed.
"So we have to do this the hard way?" Eddy asked.
"Don't we always?" Double D questioned.
"We shall retrieve the metal demon bird's tail feathers with force!" Ed blurted out.
"Ok, first things first, we need to get more information on Johnny's plans." Double D suggested.
"No, what we need is a hideout, because I am not sleeping in the van again." Eddy growled.
"The van seems to be programmed with the hideout your father had when he was in Paris." Double D stated, as he began to push in the coordinates.
They soon arrived at the old hideout. When they walked in they saw it hasn't been used in a while. They all look around the hideout, which led them to find a laptop with the words 'ThiefNet' on it. Eddy opened one of the drawers on a desk, and found his father's thief outfit. It was a blue hat, blue T-shirt with a yellow collar, blue gloves with yellow bottoms, a belt with the Cooper Clan symbol, blue shoes, a red leg pouch and a red backpack. Eddy grinned and tried on the outfit. He looked like the spitting image of his father. Double D opened up the laptop and began to unlock its secrets.
"This laptop is incredible! It can allow me to hack into any terminal with ease, override any system!" Double D exclaimed.
"Someone found a girlfriend." Eddy grinned, referring the laptop as a girl.
"This laptop is amazing. Perhaps if I modify it with my own personal touches, this can help us on our own missions to acquire the Clockwork parts." Double D suggested.
"Well, let's get this party started; after I take a nap." Eddy stated as he plopped down on the couch in the room.
"I guess I'll have to arrange a way to get info off of Johnny's computer." Double D stated, as he walked out of the safe house. Ed looked around and shrugged while he began to read a comic book on vikings. Double D came back after a few hours with about three severed satellite dishes and about three computer terminals. Eddy yawned as he woke from his nap. He looked over Double D's shoulder to see he was working on a new invention.
"Whatcha doing?" Eddy asked, which made Double D look up.
"I'm working on a satellite feeder that can allow us to stream information from Johnny's computer." Double D answered.
"Alright. I guess I'll leave you to it." Eddy stated, as he was about to lay back down.
"Actually, this requires your assistance." Double D questioned.
"What?" Eddy asked.
Thirty minutes later...
Eddy is seen climbing a building, carrying three heavy satellite terminals. He groaned as he pulled himself up to the roof.
"I bet Dad didn't have to climb a building carrying heavy-ass machinery." Eddy growled as he climbed up the roof. After about four hours of climbing he managed to get all the machines on three separate roofs. "I got to talk to my agent about being in these fanfics." Eddy muttered.
"Eddy? Do you have the satellite terminals in place?" Double D asked over the earpiece.
"Yes." Eddy growled.
"Alright, just let me turn them on and-" a bunch of static interrupted before clearing up. "Oh dear, Eddy, I know this might be pushing it. But my remote satellite array on-switch is on the fritz. Could you turn them on manually?"
"Are you fucking me?" Eddy shouted. "I just busted my ass getting those things on three different roofs!"
"It is necessary for the mission." Double D replied, which made Eddy groan. At least he was going to get some exercise. Eddy activated the terminals one by one, while jumping from roof to roof in the process. After about five minutes Eddy turned on the last terminal. "Perfect, the data from Johnny's computer is streaming from my computer as we speak."
"Good cause I'm going to bed now." Eddy growled.
"Actually, before you drift to the mind-embracing world of dreams, I have one more job for you to do." Double D proclaimed, which made Eddy groan.
"Why me?! Why not Ed?!" Eddy shouted.
"Ed's there too." Double D stated. "He's your backup for getting into the night club's underground entrance. The job is a recon photo op so we can assess the situation."
"Alright, I guess. But after this job I am going to bed! Got it!" Eddy shouted into his ear piece.
"Fine by me. We'll continue the other missions when you're awake." Double D replied. "Now Eddy, to get inside, you're going to have to go through an old wine cellar underneath the town."
"Alright." Eddy jumped off the roof and made his way to the wine cellar. Once he was there, he regrouped with Ed AKA Lothar.
"Good to see ya my fellow thief buddy. The way to the cellar is blocked by those French rats." Ed pointed to the anamorphic rats that were dressed like Frenchmen. "We need to crush them."
"Sounds like a plan. You and me, back to back." Eddy grinned.
"Totally surrounded by impending odds." Ed grinned. They charged straight at the Frenchmen, Ed smacking them with his mighty fist of pain, and Eddy cracking skulls with his cane. As soon as most of the guards were unconscious, the danger duo made their way to a locked gate. "I shall bend this gate like a bending robot." Ed stated as he began to bend the bars enough for Eddy to squeeze through.
"Thanks E...Lothar." Eddy smirked.
"You're on your own now due to my hulking body." Ed posed heroically.
"I'll be fine." Eddy dashed down the hall. As he did so, he managed to dodge a few security lasers. He stopped when he saw a big warthog with a gun and flashlight. Eddy stepped back a few feet and pulled the Thievious Raccoonus out of his backpack. He flipped through it and began to look for anything that could help him. He found one move that could actually help him, a move his father used. A stealth attack which allows the user to throw an enemy into the air and bring them down hard to the ground. Eddy grinned a bit, as he snuck behind the guard and gave an uppercut from behind sending the guard into the air. Eddy used his cane to bring the guard down to the ground hard. Eddy panted and began to work his way down the hall once more. He came across another guard, which he immediately knocked out.
Eddy ran over to an air duct and began to crawl through it. He came to a dressing room, where he saw dressing mirrors. He saw another guard standing in front of a wall of yellow lasers. The guard was holding a remote and had his finger on it. Eddy assumed the remote controlled the lasers and if the guard let go, the lasers would be gone. Eddy smirked and gave the Guard a wedgie and hung him from a chandelier, the guard let go to grab his crotch causing the laser to drop. Eddy smirk and snuck into the ball room, which was very impressive.
"Dang, Johnny paid for all of this?" Eddy wondered out loud, getting the attention of a few nearby guards. Eddy soon began to knock the guards out. It was easy, since he was used to punching Ed.
"Aha, another air vent. This should lead you to the printing press room." Double D stated.
"It better." Eddy opened the vent and crawled through it till he reached a huge air duct connected to other air vents. "Looks like you were right Double Dillo." Eddy proclaimed.
"Am I ever wrong?" Double D replied, sounding smug a bit. "Now Eddy, you should take a few pictures of the operation."
"How am I suppose to do that? I don't have a camera." Eddy stated.
"Luckily I outfitted your binocucom with a camera, so not only can you take pictures you can zoom in to get a better look at far away objects." Double D explained.
"Nice." Eddy began to take a few pictures of the operation: the Clockwerk tail feathers, the generator, and the main operator of it all – Johnny 2x4. Johnny was a tall brown chipmunk who was in his Timber the Dark Gourd costume.
14 hours later (around night time)...
Eddy yawned, waking himself up. He had slept in his thief outfit. He walked out of the room he was sleeping in which was his old man's room. Eddy walked into the living room to see his two partners-in-crime eating some Chinese take out. Ed looked up and handed Eddy a box of Chinese sushi along with a pair of chopsticks.
"So what's next, oh plan divisor?" Eddy asked, as he shoved a tuna roll into his mouth.
"The pictures you brought back are a constant reminder of what the average thief is up against: spotlights and stepped up patrols. The sum of it all makes a direct assault impossible." Double D explained. "To solve this puzzle, I'm going to need more information on our target. Eddy, you'll need to switch a bugged painting with the one in Johnny's office so we'll be able to listen in on his conversations. Next, you'll have to follow Johnny and track his movements. Once I have a better understanding, the Clockwerk tail feathers shall be ours."
"Alright, should be easy enough." Eddy smirked as he finished his food. Double D handed him the bugged painting which was The Scream, which Eddy placed in his backpack. Eddy soon walked out of the door and climbed onto the rooftop, where he saw a guard patrolling it. Eddy immediately ducked down behind a window sill.'This could be a problem. Why the hell does he have Guards posted on the rooftops?! Man, did Johnny get paranoid after the movie.' Eddy thought. Eddy had to hide from the rooftop patrol and jumping silently, he made his way into an open window that would lead him to Johnny's Discotheque. Eddy was soon in another part of the room, standing on a balcony.
"The schematics of the Night Club indicate that the door to the office is locked from the inside." Double D stated through Eddy's earpiece.
"I was never one for the direct approach." Eddy smirked.
"Swell, because the indirect approach is the heating duct on the simulacra of fauna next to the water fall." Double D explained.
"I'm on it." Eddy smirked as he jumped onto a nearby ledge. He ran over and jumped onto the ledge with the face grate. Eddy smacked the heating duct open and crawled into it, falling through the heating duct's opening into the office. Eddy groaned and switched the fake painting with Double D's bugged one. "Hey Double D, why don't we sell this painting? We can make a ton of cash off of it, right?" Eddy suggested.
"Eddy, in the past few days, you've added felony, breaking and entering, and fleeing arrest onto my permanent record. Now you want to add selling forgeries on the black market to the list?" Double D questioned.
"This would be more fun if you just lived a little Double D." Eddy proclaimed. "Sure, my dad's a thief and I dragged you guys into it. But according to my dad's section of the Thievius Raccoonus, he had his friends backing him up. This Bentley guy is like you Double D; annoying, cautious and smart beyond anyone else."
"I suppose it has been exhilarating a bit. But still this is kind of against everything I stand for." Double D stated.
"Come on...in the past few days you've done more than what you would've done staying at the Cul-De-Sac." Eddy explained. "Like, life would've gotten stable and predictable back home. Now look at us! We're dodging lasers, beating up bad guys, and saving the world from a huge threat."
"Well, I suppose I've been using my brain more than normal, and since this life you've chosen for us is unpredictable and dangerous, I have been thinking on my feet." Double D stated. "I suppose, once again, you're right about our current situation."
"Finally, you shut off your nerd circuits." Eddy smirked. "Now, do you want to sell the painting or not?"
"I suppose so, though I might use the money for upgrades on the van and my laptop." Double D stated.
"So none of it's for us?" Eddy griped.
"Indeed, like you said, I need to enjoy it a little." Double D smirked.
"Fine, as long as you stop complaining." Eddy stated as he walked out of Johnny's office.
Boom! Also sorry for leaving it on that. I wanted to post this chapter for so long. Anyway sorry for that back and forth with Eddy and Double D debating their current life status, but come on. It's Double D we're talking about. Anyway the next chapter will have more missions in it, some of them involving our two favorite Eds.
