Disclaimer: I do not own Sly Cooper or any other character from the Sly Cooper games. The only characters I own are Cedric, Hugo, and any other OCs I throw in to the mix. Kajiyama is the name of a real leader of the yakuza and as such, I take no credit for him.
Author's note: Thank you for all your great reviews, as this is my first fic, I appreciate any and all suggestions, just be polite! Also, the character contest is still going on so, if you have any characters you have made, please send them in (anthropomorphs only though (no humans)). The top two characters will be used as the creator sees fit and I will keep no claim to the characters. Thanks to those who have sent in characters. Unfortunately, only four people have entered so far. If you don't want everyone else to see your character, you can PM me. Please send any characters you created and like in. Thank you.
Escape!
On three, Sly, Carmelita, and Bentley jumped. Carmelita began to climb the rope quickly, putting all her newfound skills to the test. Sly too jumped and began to climb. Bentley waited until he reach ed the top of his jump to begin using his boosters. He used the first two boosters, then the third, then all three, slowing his fall. The booster lasted about half a minute until it began to sputter. Sly then grabbed Bentley and opened his paraglider, slowly falling, gaining distance from the elevator. As the two were falling, Carmelita noticed an open ventilation shaft. Cutting through one of the elevator cables, she swung down, kicking Sly and Bentley into the shaft before swinging in herself.
"Nice move, but could you tell us next time?" groaned Sly, his muffled due to having his face smashed against the wall of the shaft by Bentley's wheelchair.
"No time ringtail. Let's get going," said Carmelita, feeling adrenaline surge through her. Is this how Sly always feels during a heist? she thought. I can see why he likes this so much.
Carefully, they pushed Bentley's wheelchair through the shaft, difficult due to the chair's size. Bentley, hunched over, almost cracked his skull on the ceiling several times. Finally, they got to the end, where Sly knocked the grate out with his cane. Crawling out, they found themselves in the hall that Sly had found which led to Penelope's cell. Running, they quickly came to Penelope's cell. There, they found the door had been locked with a cycle-lock. Carmelita immediately pulled out her pistol and was about to shoot the lock off when Sly stopped her. Reaching forward, he turned the lock rght until he felt a vibration, then left, then right again. The lock popped and the door opened.
"It just takes a gentle touch," Sly said to Carmelita's amazed face.
The three of them burst in too see a startled Penelope.
"It's about time you got here Bentley," she said, her voice betraying her annoyed words.
"Sorry, someone rigged an elevator to kill us," said Bentley, "Sly and Carmelita got us out though."
"Sly and CARMELITA? Isn't she the one who as trying to cart Sly off to jail?"
"Yeah, but she's helping us for now. Look, I know someone who can explain the whole thing later, but right now, we need to get out of here."
"Alright," said Penelope as Bentley handed over Penelope's binocucom.
Outside, Sly spoke into his binocucom.
"We have Penelope, what about the others?" he asked.
"I took care of the guards and Grace is going to help Cedric. By the way, you should probably get up here quick," said Hugo.
"Why?"
"Ever seen a Texas cage match or some other kind of TV fight?"
"A few."
"Like 'em?"
"Some, why?"
"Cause If the TV monitors are right, you're about to see the best one-on-one fight you've ever seen! Cedric vs. Kajiyama! If you want to help out, better get up here."
"We're coming," said Sly.
Right then, Penelope and Bentley walked out into the hall.
"Alright, it's time to go. We need to go up FAST," said Sly
"The elevator's out though," Carmelita pointed out.
"What's wrong with stairs?" asked Sly pointing to a staircase to their left.
Above them, Grace ran full-out trying to catch up to Cedric, in order to stop him from doing something he would most definitely regret.
